In Chapter 7, on page 105 of the SPEAK Penguin Group edition, or on page 93 of the Laurel-Leaf Books Edition, is the scene where Ponyboy explains why Darry leaves the doors unlocked. Pony says that they leave their door unlocked just in case any of their friends gets kicked out of their house and needs a place to stay and cool off. Steve usually spends the night on the Pony's couch because he is always getting into fights with his father and getting kicked out of his house. He also comments that Dally has spent the night, as well as Tim Shepard. Tim Shepard, who is not in their greaser gang but associated with them, even spent the night there before. Two-Bit's mother tried to warn them about burglars, but Darry said he would risk that chance if it meant keeping one of his friends from getting into trouble or hurt.
