I lived in Brooklyn for 5 years on the border between some sketchy neighborhoods and some very nice areas. On my last day before moving to Tokyo, my car was broken into. I had always been careful not to leave anything of value inside the car, but on the last day I was tired from moving and had parked in the nice neighborhood, so I wasn't as vigilant.
I think this article says more about New Yorkers living relatively disposable lives. Many New Yorkers move every few years, and sell off their valuables (rent money!) and lead minimal lives.
The other half live in secure buildings and pay piles of money for maintenance fees and doorman tips. I don't know if I can count that as not locking the door.
