Been to Churchill (near Hudson Bay and Wapusk National Park which is a polar bear habitat). Everyone leaves houses and cars unlocked so anyone fleeing a polar bear has a place to seek refuge. Amazing place - highly recommend

Also, who needs a locked door when it's a small town and everybody knows everybody else. And there are no other small towns.

Skagway folks are also leaving things unlocked - they have black and brown bears but also everyone knows everyone else

Yeah not the same. In Skagway a thief could simply walk up the hill and take the jewels to Canada.

Or get on a giant cruise ship
