So are police chases, but does that stop innocent people who get in the way from getting killed? The police know that to get your man is everything. Of course when that kid bends over to pick-up his ball there is always the chance of "collateral damage".
Buy that! And when the burglar shows up with this:
You don't lift it out of it's track, you lift the track out of the frame. Very complicated stuff.
Quite possibly, yes. Especially if there's a house on the same street with unsecured (or unlocked) windows or doors.
As was pointed out by someone else, you can put screws in the upper track to prevent this while the window is closed.
It's never possible to have a completely secure home. The more secure your home is, though, the less likely it is to be targeted by a burglar. Burglars like homes that are easy to get into, have some valuables, and can be accessed undetected.
If the track is properly secured in place, it's not likely that a burglar would remove the entire window (or door) to gain entry. It's simply too much work.
Learned that one in Massachusetts after being burglarized about 30 years ago. One of the first security-related things I've done in every new house since then.

While he's puttering around with that, there's time to deal with him.

One advice that hasn't been mentioned is similar to putting a couple of screws in the top track. Just slide a good fit piece of wood on the top track that'll cover the whole sliding window. The hard part is finding the perfect size wood. A renter lady on the bad part of town told me this.
