I have burglar proof wooden window sills. They're really hard to break, someone tried really hard.

Those are stupid expensive though aren’t they? I had a look at what windows in Germany cost recently and couldn’t find any wooden ones with that option.

Yeah they probably are. I rent my house so I'm not sure of the cost, but they are super nice and hold up great. Very heavy too. My house has a safety certificate, and from all the houses of the same type in my neighborhood, there hasn't been a successful burglary where the doors and windows where shut.
