If you have an alarm system which goes off if you open a door it is better in some situations to leave the car unlocked. I leave my car unlocked with the alarm on around my house to prevent someone from tearing up my door or breaking the window just to run off when they open the door. Now if it is at night and I'm out somewhere I'll lock the doors but not at home or when I'm staying somewhere that I could here it go off. The biggest problem with this is that most of the cars now days come with alarms that can only be activated by locking the doors.
