" also they would have to climb up and look in a window to see just how it works so they would need a ladder for that"
Most thieves would just break the window, reach in to find out how it works. But that is really not necessary since many thefts are done by people who know the target and are aware of the lack of security and schedule/habits of the target. In other words the break in is often committed by someone you know
A 3 foot tall person could break out the bottom window and reach in and turn the knob on your lock. A taller person might prefer one of the higher windows ...so many choices... on your door. If you are just wanting to "have the upper hand" (not sure what that means) why even bother with a lock? Oh, I forgot. You might not be home to keep them out.
"I believe they would just move to the front door"
Why? Is the front door easier to break in?
"or another easier prey" From a thieves point of view, only an open door and no one home would be easier than a knob operated lock next to a glass window.
