What's it matter what I do or don't wear when there is no one else
around? Have you considered that some people don't live in cities, or
that some people have nothing worth stealing? Around here, locking the
door is nothing but a pointless nuisance. The main reason the lock is
there is because State Farm won't write homeowner's insurance if it
isn't. I have an excellent moat, and the dogs will bark or even bite.
The doors inside the castle really don't need locks inhibiting the
residents' freedom to move about within.

Doesn't matter. OP asked how he could, not whether he should. Every such
question how does not require a thrashing about why it's a bad idea.
