We have winter break-ins as well. I know many people who leave their places unlocked so the damage of a break-in won't occur, the rationale being, if they're going to break in anyway, you might as well save the repair bill and damage of a broken window or door until someone discovers it. I don't particularly subscribe to that school of thought but it makes you think....
