Worried about Bump Keys
I'll agree that bump-keying is probably not a likely entry method for a burglar in most situations; they look for the path of least resistance, so to speak.
The question is, what's the weakest link? If your windows are completely unsecured, I agree that there's no real point in spending money on bump-proof locks.

But take my place for instance.
I coughed up the cash for a big roll of ShatterGuard film and did almost all of my lower-floor windows (minus the bathroom window, which is too small to climb through anyway, and I didn't have enough to do the top foot of the sliding glass doors).
I also reinforced my doorframes and hinges. (Yes, I'm a little paranoid).
So in my situation, the locks might actually be the weakest link, and it would make sense for me to get good locks.
That might not be the case for everyone, of course.

By the way, if you haven't looked at ShatterGuard, check it out:
