It is invariably better to spend the money you would have wasted on

Very difficult to protect a window from a determined attack - unless
you're happy with bars or gates.

I'm always amused to see houses round here with multiple expensive locks
on the front door but original sash windows...


Bungalows amuse me even more.
All the burglar has to do is go on the roof and lift a few tiles.

And cut a few battens and break the nails on every 2nd or 3rd row of tiles.
It would not be a wholly silent procedure.

But a good dog cures most things.
