1:17:02
I wasn't there. They broke in,
1:17:04
they stole some booze
and cigarettes and they left.

1:17:06
So I figure it must've been
some teenagers

1:17:09
out to have a little bit of fun.
That's all they took, though.

1:17:13
Just some booze
and some cigarettes.

1:17:15
- Have you ever been
a victim of crime?

1:17:17
- Yes.
- What kind of crime?

1:17:19
- Uh, I've had people walk in
while I've been sleeping

1:17:21
and vandalize my home
and steal from me.

1:17:24
- And that didn't want to make
you lock your doors at night?

1:17:27
- No. No.
1:17:30
- As an American with
three locks on his doors,

1:17:33
I found this all
a bit confusing.

1:17:35
Even here, in Toronto,
a city of millions,

1:17:37
people just didn't lock
their doors.

1:17:41
So you don't lock your doors but
we, Americans, do. Why is that?

1:17:43
- You must be afraid
of your neighbour.

1:17:46
- Do you ever leave your doors
unlocked at home?

1:17:48
- Yeah.
- Yeah, you do?

1:17:51
Where do you live?
- Right around here.

1:17:53
- Toronto?
- Around here.

1:17:54
- You leave your doors unlocked?
- Yeah.

1:17:56
- You'd think, as Americans,
1:17:58
that the lock is keeping people
out of your place.

1:18:02
We, as Canadians,
see it more as, uh...

1:18:05
when we lock the door, we're
imprisoning ourselves inside.

1:18:09
- You don't want to do that.
1:18:11
- Not really, no.
1:18:13
We don't want to... No.
1:18:17
- I decided to go unannounced
to a neighbourhood in Toronto

1:18:20
to see if this unlocked-door
thing was true.

1:18:24
Oh, hi. I'm sorry.
Just checking.

1:18:31
[ dog barking ]
Oh, hello!

1:18:40
- Oh, hi.
- Hi.

1:18:41
- Nobody locks their doors.
1:18:43
Nobody locks their doors
in this town.

1:18:45
- You want to lock?
- No, no, no.

1:18:48
Do you like living here?
- I like it very much.

1:18:50
- Yeah? And the T-shirt?
- The T-shirt too.

1:18:53
- This door was wide open.
And you're not afraid?

1:18:55
- Should I be afraid?
- I don't know. You live here.

1:18:57
- I don't think I'm afraid.
- You're not, are you?

1:18:59
Thank you very much.
- All right. No problem.
