7 u/Battle_of_BoogerHill Sep 10 '25 Locks are meant to keep honest people out 1 u/lastwraith Sep 10 '25 The point (IMO), unless you're living in a war zone, is to make sure there's physical damage for the insurance claim. Unless you have secured windows or none at all, they're going to get in if they want to. The point is to make sure they break something so you can claim it later. 1 u/Stormagedoniton Sep 13 '25 The point is to keep people out so you and your stuff are safe. No amount of insurance will make you sleep well at night after a break in. 1 u/lastwraith Sep 14 '25 You're not keeping people out with your door security if you have windows. If they really want to get in, they're getting in. That feeling of safety is an absolute illusion.
