This doesn't make much sense from first principles. I assume everyone agrees that theft is equally unwelcome regardless of whether the door was locked. But the additional damages from breaking into a locked home are pretty minor compared to the damages of the theft. Why would there be a large difference in punishment?
Interesting. Is that an American thing? I do recall that most of my American friends don't lock their doors, whereas I can only think of a handful of people not locking their doors in Europe - and those live in remote outposts, where people are scarce and deer are unlikely to use the door handle.
Because of that, we had an additional safety feature, you couldn’t open the door from outside!
