This scares me. The latest home security worry is “lock bumping” - not only is it effective it leaves no trace of forced entry.
Lock bumping is easy: a special made key, which locksmiths (and many criminals) know how to make, is inserted into a lock and hit with an object such as a screwdriver handle. Presto! The lock opens. The instructions have been posted on Internet.
Break-ins using this method have been reported in Florida, Canada, and England. The unfortunate side-effect of lock bumping is since there is no signs of forced entry most insurance companies will *not* pay out.
