Where is the best place to install an acoustic + optical signal device?

Who says that? I don't believe it. A screwdriver doesn't break.

Probably half of it was still stuck in the frame ;)
Why shouldn't a screwdriver break?
How much money do you think the opportunistic burglar invests in the quality of his materials? :D

So, I have already broken many screwdrivers in the workshop. But none has ever snapped. Especially the cheap ones are so soft, you would rather bend them into a snail before they break. That's why I don't believe the details of the story in real life.

Oh, now I understand, you are just quibbling over words. I should have noticed it with the "Schrauben"zieher" already. :rolleyes:

It was not meant as hair-splitting. I do find the difference quite significant. Especially since, firstly, the very unlikely abandonment, in my view, is defined as the reason for the termination of the break-in attempt, and secondly because one cannot know whether the screwdriver was bent or not if the perpetrator did not leave the tool behind, which can reasonably be assumed.

That is why I don’t believe the details of the story in real life.

Thank you very much for accusing me of lying here.

Otherwise, is everything still okay with you?

Would you maybe also explain to me what I would gain from spreading untruths here?

I would wish that I did not have to experience this attempted burglary. When I then share my experiences here to possibly enable other homeowners a better protection of their own home, I find it more than inappropriate to be confronted by you in such a manner.

But of course, I will explain it to you again (this time hopefully detailed enough):

The metal part of the screwdriver was still stuck between the frame and the window sash (thanks again here for the extremely helpful hair-splitting in the post) – the broken handle (without fingerprints) lay in the neighbor’s garden.

Especially when, firstly, the very unlikely breakage in my opinion is defined as the reason for the abandonment of the attempted break-in, and because secondly you cannot know whether the screwdriver was bent or not if the perpetrator did not leave the tool behind, which can reasonably be assumed.

Where did I write that that was the reason?

After it didn't work with the screwdriver (hopefully better this way...), prying was then done with the crowbar – it absolutely makes no sense the other way around.

Presumably, it just took the burglar too long at some point and then he gave up.

Although the vast majority here are anonymous – like you, for example – that does not mean that there are no rules of conduct to follow on the forum. So if you doubt a member’s statement, you can of course write that objectively and provide reasons; however, refrain from making hasty accusations!

As the doc himself has already replied, he gains no benefit from spreading lies; therefore, he does not have to put up with your accusations.

Rhenish regards
