My BIL sent me a link to this. Creepy, but if someone wants to break into your home, unless you have an security alarm system, and expensive lock is not going to make a difference. They can still break windows and such to get into your home.

And right below that video where they say the won't show you how a bump key is made... is a video on how to make a bump key. Oy!

I'm going to double check mine because we had two breakins across the street in the last 2 weeks. I don't know the details on how they got it but this is a possiblity.

Great. That's why burglars should be shot on site.

My Dad always told me the only purpose for locks was to keep honest people out.

I think everyone should get the "Brutus 2.0" security upgrade.

In this day & age, people who don't have a professional security system installed are almost nuts. We've had a BRINKS system for 15 years. I would never be without it!! We've got every door & window wired, glass breakage devices everywhere, etc.

(This is coming from someone who, as a child, 30 years ago, awoke to find a stranger standing in her bedroom in the middle of the night).

Yup! Plus, the expensive lock won't help if you have a wood door frame, since the person can just kick in the door. Metal door frames are better, but more expensive.

Here in Mexico most people don't trust each other (for the most part) so pretty much all homes have metal bars on every door and every window, and most of the doors are padlocked. it would take a pretty determined thief to break into our home (not too say it couldn't be done, but he would really, really need to be determined to do so)
