Pretty sure people have had insurance claims refused in the UK because there was no visible sign of forced entry.

They will ask you if your door was locked. Sure, you could lie, but that's also insurance fraud.
I also never leave my house unlocked, even when I'm inside.
Edit: After some additional research, people on message boards pointed out that many home invasions are done with lock-pick kits, or the burglar breaks a window and unlocks the door. Homes are often broken into without any damage to the lock or door, so the insurance company would never even know if you locked the door or not. It just doesn't come up in the investigation.
