That is why if you choose to put in a security system be sure to include motion sensors and a glass break sensor in your system.
I would doubt if the burglar crawls through the broken window. They probably reach in and unlock the slider or door. Definitely, do put in the glass break sensors as an extra layer. Motion detectors can be set off by moving shadows or passing lights.
