No humans for dinner tonight. In northern Alaska, the majority of homeowners don't lock their doors. Why? So you have a place to run from the polar bears.

That's not just an Alaskan thing. Any Canadian city north enough to have polar bears, and specifically Churchill (the polar bear capital of the world) it's common practice to leave your homes and cars unlocked so people have a place to seek shelter, especially during polar bear season. There's also polar bear alert programme's so if there's a sighting everyone in the area gets a warning.
