Let me tell you how annoying it is when you take your elderly mother on holiday for a few days, only to return to find a neighbour asked the police for a 'welfare check', there is no longer a front door, a hall full of tiny fragments of broken glass, you have to pay hundreds on the spot just to get the boarding-up cowboys to open it up, wait 6 weeks for a new door, end up hundreds out of pocket for insurance excess, and the concerned neighbour never even identifies themselves.
Oh and a year later the crappy replacement lock fails and it's hundreds more for a locksmith callout and replacement.
