I guarantee you I, or anyone else with ~30m of training can get into 95% of homes without leaving much evidence that the locks were tampered with. House locks are very easy to pick open.
- EA-3167 3y agoMost thieves are not trained in covert entry, they aren't lock pickers, they're desperate addicts looking to get some things to pawn for a fix.
- postmortembees 3y agoOf course. Most thieves break in use the time honored "brick + window" method. But I was refuting the specific idea that house locks are a tamper evident seal. They are trivially easy to bypass in a tamper evident manner.
- jerlam 3y agoAnd yet, the universal way to break into homes is with brute force, by smashing a window or kicking the door in.
- talldatethrow 3y agoIf I know my door is locked, and you get in, I can still shoot you since I know I locked it, thus you'll have the tools somewhere near you showing you broke in. If it's just a code, tons of legal ambiguity comes up. Can a gf shoot her exbf that she gave the keycode to last month?

- AnnikaL 3y agoIf anything, it might be easier to change a keycode than to change a lock.
- talldatethrow 3y agoThis a good point, except that I've found that people with keycode locks on door and garages hand out the keycode like candy for some reason.. way more than anyone else hands out physical keys.
