“Someone will break into something I own someday” is much more likely than “someone will break into my office tonight”. The former is likely enough that I do take general preparations (a habit of locking doors) but while there are specific preparations I would make to handle the intersection of that I planned to do at the office tomorrow and dealing with the aftermath of a burglary, that’s unlikely enough to to be worth it.
Does locking doors generally lead to preventing break-ins? I mean, certianly in some cases (cars most notably) it does, but in general, if someone has gone up to your back door with the intent to break in, how likely are they to give up and leave upon finding it locked?
