Manipulating instance var from a static method - thread safe?

Hi all,

I've just realized that static data are not thread safe because they are
shared by all users of the ASP.NET application. What if a static method is
passed an object variable? Do I still need to lock() on that variable for
the time the method is manipulating it?

Thanks,
-Oleg.
