Fun story, my neighbor locked himself out of his house last night and knocked on my door to borrow a cell phone to call his wife. I trotted over with a Costco card, slipped it in the door, and had it open with 30 seconds of jiggling.
Sometimes people need to chill and learn to prioritize their security efforts. There are compromises to be made, lines to draw and accept that sometimes where they are is "good enough". No sense self-hosting stuff, losing contact with friends and family because they won't install fb anywhere, while they leave windows and sliding doors open to the house.
In Italy we have a weird culture of "porta blindata" as main house door.

Basically evry house has it. I'm not saying is super secure but at least you would need some lockpicking skills to open it, it's not something you can knock down with 1 shot like you see in the movies
