I put that 3M film on all my accessible windows and doors. It takes 3-4 hits with a sledge to get through. Thieves don't come prepaired for that and even if they are, the alarm would go off on the first hit. It's also a very loud noise and an extra minute of smashing on a populated downtown street. Well worth the extra cost.
Comment on Are smart door locks more or less secure than traditional door locks?

Fun fact, broken windows very rarely alert neighbors to a burglary. They’re not terrible at alerting the home owner, but unless a neighbor connects a second, overtly thievish sound to the crack of broken glass, they will usually go about their day. It’s not even the bystander effect, most people just don’t know what a burglary sounds like.
