Id perfer the police, becasue the chance of them comming back knowing the vulnerabilities and trying to break in a far lower. Then again...where i am from a good number of police are the thiefs, so... Ill buy a shotgun instead.


But I find the nature of this comparison flawed. Breaking into a house and breaking into a network are far different. you NEED physical access to get to a house. A hacker can take apart your network from across the glode, much lower chance of getting caught, much easier to avoid punishment if caught. I have police patroling the area I live, I have neighbors, I have random people walking by at all hours of the night (very popular jogging/walking/ biking path) so there is a HUGE difference in the two scenarios.
