Default Security Problem with AC in Window

I have a building with a room AC in a window. The window is 3x2' and is about
filled with the AC unit when the lower window is pulled up. Although there is
nothing overwhelmingly valuable in the building, it would be good to make the
entry through that window more difficult. I think a good push or pull from the
outside might knock the AC out of the window, and allow someone to crawl in. Any
ideas?

Are there any other windows ? If so don't worry about the AC.

I suspect windows without installed air conditioners are easier
to enter than those with them. If that's true, most burglars will
simply look for an easier target.

If you live in a high crime area, look into installing a motion
detector alarm system.
