    How well does that lock on your house prevent some vandal from throwing
    a brick through your window or painting things across the front of it
    or lighting it on fire so that the fire departement needs access?

    Vandals have access to your house, probably just as much as they have
    access to the power cutoff (unless you live in a walled compound, in
    which case the access is reduced somewhat).
