Leaving your key in the lock sounds harmless, but it can actually cause way more trouble than most people realize because burglars know exactly how to use that mistake against you. A key left inside can jam some locks from the outside, but in many modern doors it actually makes break-ins easier by giving thieves leverage for bumping, snapping, or using special tools to turn the mechanism. It also tells anyone watching your home that the door is likely unlocked or the homeowner is distracted, which makes your place an instant target. Even worse, emergency responders might not be able to get in during a crisis if the inside key blocks their entry tools.
