People lock their houses before going out of the actual house? WTF? A deadbolt is the only real way to lock a front door, and is often the only way it's locked.
A deadbolt is more secure than the lock on the doorknob, but both can be picked or broken. Lots of homes have both locks on the front door, and in a lot of areas just the doorknob lock is secure enough if you're leaving for a couple hours in the middle of the day.
I grew up being told to lock the deadbolt any time the house was left empty. Seems like common sense to me, but I suppose I didn't grow up normal.
A deadbolt is great, but it's easier to break a window than pick even a bad lock. If you don't live in a neighborhood where everyone has bars over their windows, you probably don't need to keep your deadbolt locked all the time.
