- aspaviento 5y agoIsn't that the reason why you put tape on the glass first?
- morsch 5y agoPresumably thieves professional enough to pick locks are also able to break glass windows without making a lot of noise?
- lrvick 5y agoMost professional locksmiths can't even pick locks, let alone any successful former thieves I have known. You will rarely see either not go directly for a destructive entry method even when trivial bypasses are available if one had bothered to research. Lock picking is basically only found among the locksport community.

- hellbannedguy 5y ago1. Break glass. 2. retreat to safe area. 3. look for security, or commotion. 4. Come back and loot the place. 5. #2 senerio. Just open the unlocked door, and loot the place while the family members are in the home. (We had a mountian bike thief that did this senerio for years, and was never caught in my wealthy enclave. It's estimated he stole over a million plus dollars. I always thought it was a unhinged angry doctor, or a lawyer. Doctor's wives shoplift in huge numbers. It's a behavioral psychological thing. Ask any security guard who steals the most. They are never arrested because they spend a lot in stores. Nordstrom's turns in the minority shoplifters, but let go the white wealthy ones. How do I know? Used to be a Security guard, and hoping Nordstrom's would be outed by now.)
- corobo 5y agoThe neighbourhood might hear it but if nobody reacts who cares (from a burglary point of view) If a car alarm goes off my reaction is not "oh no, someone is stealing a car" it's "man I hope they know how to shut that off quickly"
