What should be considered when positioning it? Should it be placed where everyone can see it clearly (although thieves might damage it beforehand)? Or rather discreetly, but still visible in case of an alarm? Does just the visibility of a siren have a deterrent effect? What do you recommend? Best regards, Steffi33.

Who says that? I don’t believe it. A screwdriver doesn’t snap.Probably half of it was still embedded in the frame 😉
Why wouldn’t a screwdriver break?
How much do you think a casual burglar invests in the quality of their tools? 😀

Knallkörper16 Oct 2016 12:19Well, I have already broken many screwdrivers in the workshop. However, none has ever snapped. Especially the cheap ones are so soft that they bend like a snail before breaking. That’s why I don’t believe the details of this story are true in real life.

Knallkörper16 Oct 2016 15:13It was not meant as nitpicking. I find the difference quite significant. Especially since, firstly, the very unlikely scenario of breaking off is defined as the reason for the burglary attempt being abandoned, and secondly, because it is impossible to know whether the screwdriver was bent or not if the perpetrator did not leave the tool behind, which can reasonably be assumed.

Otherwise, are you doing okay?
Could you perhaps explain to me what I would gain by spreading falsehoods here?
I wish I hadn’t had to experience this attempted break-in. When I share my experience to possibly help other homeowners secure their homes better, I find it more than inappropriate to be attacked by you in such a manner.
But of course, I’ll explain it to you again (hopefully this time in enough detail):
The metal part of the screwdriver was stuck between the frame and the window sash (thanks again for the extremely helpful nitpicking in your post) – the broken handle (without fingerprints) was found in the neighbor’s garden.

After the screwdriver didn’t work (hopefully that’s clearer now), the burglar then tried to pry it open with a crowbar – it wouldn’t make sense the other way around.
Most likely, it just took the intruder too long at some point, and they gave up.
