I'll apologise for being so picky it's just that spelling does do my head in and I appreciate that some people struggle with dyslexia tc.
It's my problem and I'lll get over it but at least try and make an effort like not regularly posting in capital letters!
On another note, cheers for that Scootz it's quite interesting. Just had a quick look and it's down as "theft by
housebreaking". Burglary in England and Wales can also be entering and committing or intending to commit criminal damage or GBH so there's
a wider scope to collar people for it. I'll remember that when I have to deal with Scots, cheers mate.

In Scots Law you've got 3 specific common-law crimes surrounding Housebreaking...
Theft by Housebreaking
Housebreaking With Intent
Attempted Housebreaking With Intent
You also have a rather old (but still relevant) Scots crime of 'Hamesucken'. This is where someone forces entry into a house, not to
steal, but to assault the occupants!
All are crimes punishable by imprisonment, so there are grounds for detention and arrest.
It's Evolution Baby!

Back on topic though, I doubt any opportunistic thief would go to the extent of trying to superglue a BIC pen to the end of a key. It's just one
of many methods for a determined thief and a determined thief will get into your property regardless of what security measures you put in place

I am much more aware of this at my house as one late slightly drunk night i had forgotten my key and used my belt to open the normal lock through the
letter box ingenious but highlights the dangers. We still leave the key in the lower lock as an extra precaution which i think we will stop now so
thanks.

There's the commonly missed part "when the word rhymes with bee"
Thus the only word on Phil's list that applies is Seize coz ov da "eee" sound like innit! 
On the real topic though when will we be allowed to beat the living daylights out of burgulars?
