"Gozo people don't lock their doors"

Crime is increasing in many parts of the world. It is getting harder to trust the neighborhood, nobody knows when the next bugler will strike. But at Gozo, the second biggest island in Malta, the situation differs.

"People in Gozo leave their keys on their house door. This is a habit from the 50's when a wave of emigration saw numerous men leaving the island to Australia, US or Canada. The women used to leave the key on the door in case of her husband came back. A strong exhibition of serenity and confidence, in Gozo, people don't lock the car either." according to malta.com

How nice it would be if we could show each other such courtesy everywhere.
