Comment on Are smart door locks more or less secure than traditional door locks?

Cars have historically been broken into and stolen a lot. Thus auto makers have put extra effort into good locks. Some hardware store deadbolts are so bad you anyone can pick them with lock picks - no instructions needed. Only the best deadbolts are equal what a car has. Likewise breaking a car window is typically harder than breaking a house window.

Likewise breaking a car window is typically harder than breaking a house window.

All it takes to break a car window is a single tap. There's specific tools available, or someone can just use a shard of ceramic. Shatters completely and instantly.

  Right, if you have that tool. If you don't have that tool though a rock you find won't work unlike many house windows.

    $10 on Amazon. Or just a piece of broken spark plug. Anyone who seriously wants to break a car window will have something handy.
    
    Or maybe thieves are just walking down the street and see a fancy bag on a seat and a rock and just decide to do the deed on a whim and get foiled by tempered glass. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    Shhh, most thieves don't know that and are taking cheap opportunity.
