I take the point - but aren't burglaries everywhere mostly when the house occupants are away on holiday (and the dog too), or out at work? Maybe the odd opportunist snatch if someone leaves a window open on a hot night. We may be unarmed, but I assume at least some UK burglars are put off by an occupied home as it may contain a German Shepherd or large irate guy with a bat handy. The locks are for when I'm out - when I'm in and awake, just turning the handle will get you in the back door!
