KillHour posted:I think you're paranoid as hell, and speaking as someone who designs security systems for a living, also naive. Believe it or not, residential grade locks offer exactly 0 resistance to forced entry. I don't know what kind of burglars you're thinking of that are in too much of a hurry to check if anyone's home but also give up when faced with the fabled and completely impenetrable "locked door", but I've never heard of them. I live in an area with lots of ground floor apartments/condos where it's normal for tweekers to just keep trying doors/windows until they find one that's open. You overestimate the average burglar's effort level, at least for urban areas. edit: also at least in my area it's a lot easier to prosecute burglars with tools, so they prefer to use nothing/whatever the owner leaves lying around. e.g. even the new builds make it easy for quick "careless owner" checks

Someone peeps their head in that isn't supposed to, you say "Get the gently caress out" and they do or maybe they don't. This dude did. That was about it. This happened to me too while I was lying naked on my couch on a hot day. I said "what the gently caress?!" and the guy was like "uuhhh sorry I was looking for my brother's place" and left. My sliding door was locked about six inches open but you have to look through a dense hedge to even see my place. I heard the rustling and thought it was just another raccoon.
