Hello everyone,
I have the following issue:
We are currently planning to renovate/refurbish all the windows in our old building, but we want to make our windows as burglar-resistant as possible (due to a past break-in). Do you have any tips or know of reliable companies that specialize in this? So far, we haven’t found any trustworthy firms.
Thank you in advance!
Manuel

Ah – so the hint has already been confirmed.
So the statement was not: A camera is a useless investment. It was more like – in essence: "It’s questionable whether a camera actually helps. I (the police officer) was once called to a burglary where there was a camera. The burglar even stood right in front of the camera and waved."
“Also, such an ‘obvious’ security measure might actually attract some burglars.” (My comment: Someone who hasn’t yet heard that new homeowners are often chronically broke right after building.)
Second important statement: Mechanical protection takes priority over electronic security.
Third statement: Consider carefully whether you really want an opaque hedge. It’s nice if you want privacy on your terrace. But it’s also nice for the burglar.

The appointment was great; I received individual advice for 2 hours, followed by a 3-hour presentation with discussion. I can confirm your posts and am glad that no exorbitant additional costs are expected – we have already taken some points into account. In any case, the advice from the police is highly recommended.
We have WK3 security rated windows and exterior roller shutters, but it didn’t help. They cut a square hole in the roller shutter, broke the glass, pressed the button for the electric shutter control (which is located in the wall about 10cm (4 inches) behind the window reveal, reachable with a long arm around the corner), and opened the window...
What annoyed me most was the damaged roller shutter, because I’d rather have a broken windowpane (even though it’s triple-glazed) than a damaged window sash or frame caused by attempted forced entry with a crowbar and so on...

Window smashed, ..

I’ve never encountered that before in my experience. Which area do you live in?
