Two weeks ago friends of mine returned, on a Sunday night after a weekend away, to the horror of a burgled house. Their basement window had been taken apart and inside, drawers and clothes, cushions, crockery and papers were strewn across the floor. These friends had thought their house safe. They had window locks, an alarm, unbreakable glass. The burglars had avoided the glass by levering between the sash windows with a crowbar and removing the frame.
