It always puzzles me why actual bad guys (fences, druggies, etc.) don't have really, really strong doors.

Many years ago I saw news video of a raid police in Chicago made on such a place - sledgehammers barely scuffed the door, and there was an extended conversation through a small window with one of the occupants who - loudly and repeatedly - demanded to SEE the warrant; he flatly refused to open up until the cops a) found the warrant; b) held it up to the window so he could read it.

Whereupon he finally let the cops in.

The ordinary-looking door turned out to have been reinforced by 2x10s or something of the sort on the inside - it was several inches thick - with a couple of 2x4s as crossbars, sort of like you see on castles. Why? "There are a lot of break-ins in this neighborhood, and you guys are never around."

No drugs were found . . .
