I worked for an alarm company for about 8 years.Here's what I know:
Honest people can't imagine things criminals do. The honest mind works differently than the criminal's. A policeman years ago told me they're opportunists, so at your home or garage they'll look for a rock or pipe close by to break in. It's hard for the honest to outsmart a crook because they think differently.
I was paid to think like a burgler and find the vulnerabilities.
About that time, the door knobs started showing up that stayed locked from the outside, but allowed you to turn the knob from the inside and exit.
I got really good at popping those locks so I could get back into the place I was installing the alarm system in.
My daughter had one of those style locks on her house. They had something come up, and weren't gonna make it home that night. They needed someone to take care of the dogs, but her husband had pocketed the house key they normally stash.
I was on the phone with her when we realized the key was gone. It flipped her out when I was in the house in under 30 seconds










Thankfully she didn't have the deadbolt latched on the back door.
