ᐅ Improving Door Security Against Burglary?

At my parents’ house, they broke in through an approximately 60cm x 40cm (24 inches x 16 inches) window in the dormer (above the beach chair → patio roof). Presumably young girls.

There are said to be gangs that train their children 😉

That might be hard for you to believe, but it is true. Readers who pay attention will know that I work in an industry that deals with these phenomena. Therefore, I can say: if someone wants to get in, they will. Usually not through the front door, but rather through an inconspicuous window in a location that is not visible.

In the industry you’re referring to, it is also understood that while each group of offenders has its own “preferences,” economic principles are always considered: low-hanging fruits first; choosing the path of least resistance or noise; minimizing the time spent during the break-in phase; and, depending on the offenders’ intelligence, maintaining a “reasonable balance” between loot and penalty.

The attentive reader also knows that I previously worked in another industry connected to this phenomenon (window manufacturing). Out of conviction, I pay no less attention to secondary doors and windows. The phrase “Not with this size” specifically refers to the dimension 40x40, where my concerns would be limited to a gang of stretchy people: no burglar likes to end up in the newspaper for having been cut out by the fire department ;-)

I can recommend the Caucasian Ovcharka and a Doberman. Why two?

The Caucasian stays outside in the winter (in the kennel) and the Doberman sleeps inside the house.

However, I only have problems when packages arrive, as they are no longer delivered. But I can live with that.

Dog(s) will come, but only once there is a fence around the property 🙂 Until then, all "entry points" need to be secured. Especially the windows that face the back, as there is only the garden and a high wooden fence towards the neighbor. And since we live just 1km (0.6 miles) from the A6 motorway ramp heading towards the Czech Republic....
