How many people have seriously thought about the effort required to break into a house? Double glazed hardened glass doesn't resist a teenager with a golf club. Bar all the windows, then the doors. Then some smart kid bumps the locks or uses the bars on the ground floor windows to reach the upstairs windows. Before you know it you've spent thousands and there's still a security hole you don't know about (yet).
Then in your nice cage of steel bars and hardened glass if you get a fire, how the hell do you get out in a hurry? If the house can catch fire, and most live-in houses will burn will enough to kill the occupants, I'd like to be able to get out.
The answer that maximises comfort and reassurance: Pay someone to tell you what security and fire safety equipment provisions you need, and make it their problem if there's a subsequent fire or theft.
I see so many people think about the perceived dangers, over-react and become a prisoner in their own home whilst never seeing what's going to take away their worldly goods or their lives.
Who wants to be the miserable loner in the concrete bunker?
