My generic answer (not being the guy who replied to you) is to look at probabilities. AFAIK in most places theft from homes is opportunistic. Garage doors left open, for example, is extremely common. Thieves just drive around looking for them, it's such a reliable occurrence. Other times, they just try the door and walk in if it's unlocked and they think nobody is home.
I.e. automating your door locks may very well increase your actual security rather than reduce it, if it causes your doors to be locked more often than you'd remember otherwise.
