Comments on: Do front porch and back porch lights that are always left on mean that the neighborhood "drugstore" is open?

I've never heard of your theory before. As far as I know, some people leave the lights on for security reasons so that the place will be well-lit in case they are not home or in case they forget. In some areas, people leave the lights on because it is their vacation home and they can't be there all the time to turn lights on and off.

I always leave my lights on- it's a security issue to let people know there is someone home. It's not something that has to do with the drug trade, that would be a little too obvious. Even the crooks aren't that dumb!

I never heard that one before, but then I am not into the drug scene so I really wouldn't know. Maybe they leave the lights on for security at night and are too lazy or forget to turn them off in the daytime.

At my house it means I leave them on at night for security and just don't feel like turning them on and off..so just leave them on all the time (except when I think to turn them off during the day).
