I have "the power to stop" burglars, too. Bigger locks, stronger doors, bars on my windows, etc. But, the lack of those measures does not give a burglar carte blanche to enter my property.

In most jurisdictions, a person who does not wish anyone else on some or all of their property is required to surround the property they wish to so protect with a wall, fence, or "NO TRESSPASSING" signage. Absent such measures, others may legally enter the property without legal risk.

If you REALLY believe that you have the right to walk down the street, trying locks, to see if someone forgot to lock the door when they left for work, and then entering their premises "without legal risk", then please do assign someone to let us know when you try it. (I'd ask you to let us know yourself, but I doubt the county lockup will allow you access to a computer.)
