I live in New Hampshire. The easiest way through a window to open a door is pick up a nearby rock and sling it through a window. Hi-tech entry is gained with a hammer
Here in Ohio... burglars have learned to use welcome mats and patio furniture to bust open windows. Or...
their trade-tools, as many serious robberies are committed (around here) by workers who became addicted to cocaine or meth. I haven't heard of ANY burglar ANYWHERE with the skills to operate a
"Laser-Based Audio Injection System" as described in the theoretical paper (linked to by the OP).
The current POPULAR way to rob people around here involves watching the delivery trucks.
Old people particularly.... fail to monitor their doors with cameras. PLUS older people often receive medications that addicts find desirable for both use and resale. So the thief's merely run up to the door and grab the package... and they're gone. Easy Peasy (and
no hi-tech laser set-ups involved).
