I am a keen neighbourhood watch supporter and like to keep in touch with what is going on in my local area. Lock snapping has been on the increase and an elderly neighbour was recently broken into using this technique.
He did not have a car or else this would have gone with the small number of objects he had. It is a question as to whether it is best to keep your car keys with you at night or leave them on the table to be swiped.
This 2 in 1 burglaries explained article best describes that it is far more important to have good locks fitted than mess about with cctv and house alarms.
