City kids do not leave keys in vehicles. . . It’s different out here...

Keys... I have worn out the locks on my door several times as you don't leave anything unlocked/open unless you can see it.

I'm certainly glad I don't have that issue.
I'm afraid that I would eliminate some riff raff then be in trouble.

A lot of folks would not even know how to start it, much less put it in gear and drive it.
It doesn’t matter with a lot of equipment anyways, as they all take the same key. The key to my 2015 Kubota fits my father’s 2008.
At least two of those keys were originally bought for my 1983(?) LT275.
Apparently the new keyless ignitions are making it easier to steal your vehicle again anyhow.

City kids could always hotwire a vehicle.

City kids (Millennial's) have not a clue on how to drive tractor or stick shifts.... Pretty safe to leave keys in tractors or stick shift vehicles.... Just not cars with auto-trans...

We only lock our house at night while we're all sleeping. Only out of paranoia, no one's ever been on my property at night (to my knowledge).
Tractors and small stuff get the keys left in them. All road-going vehicles get left unlocked, but the keys do come inside. Easy to find and use if someone wanted to try.
I have friends who live in the city come over to hang out or play outside, and they step out of their cars and then lock them with a beep as they walk towards me or the house. I can't help but ask "what the heck is wrong with you" each time. They usually just shrug and leave them locked.
