When I first read your message I laughed a little. My thought was wow, you mean that happens to races other than african american. I can't answer your question but some of the other post have been dead on. We live in a crazy world. It's best to be safe and lock those doors. On the other hand, as a 6'1", muscular, young looking black guy I've become use to doors locking, clutching of purses, crossing the street, leaving the elevator (this hasn't happened on the west coast), etc... It doesn't bother me any longer but it use to. By the way, I tell my wife to lock her doors and avoid going to cities like Oakland and Richmond. The bad thing is now thugs will travel to your nice neighborhood to rob you.
