I would be very skeptical of anyone selling you "pick-proof" locks or the such. It has been proven time and time again that such things do not exist. Even these companies that bilk the US government and security agencies several hundred dollars for each lock are really just ripping them off. And of course, a good lock is only as good as the windows or door frame around it, which can usually be smashed open anyways.
I think you're on the right approach by assuming that thieves will get in and the goal would be to increase the time it takes to make off. Also, you might want to try deterrent-type activities, like very obvious video cameras (with fake red lights, even if they aren't hooked to anything), signs, and good lighting. --------------------------- Brian Weeden Technical Advisor Secure World Foundation <http://www.secureworldfoundation.org> +1 (514) 466-2756 Canada +1 (202) 683-8534 US On Mon, Nov 23, 2009 at 5:03 PM, Scott Sipe <csco...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey all, > > Our office was broken into twice on the same night this weekend -- alarm > system went off, cops called, etc -- computer equipment grabbed both times > before anybody arrived.
