      Once they’re determined to fuck with your stuff, they’re no longer random. It’s just to delay the occasional dingleberry with a multi tool until they get distracted and forget.

      “Huh, doesnt fit. Oh well, guess I’ll carve some folk art into the shitter door.”

      Then you can just spackle over the swastikas, but you don’t usually have to reassemble the privacy panels.

      Every lock can be broken. My step grandfather would use tamper proof screws to board up his lake house for winter. Otherwise you risk some drunk ice fishing fuck breaking into your house.

      If someone really wanted to get in, it doesn’t really matter what fasteners you use, they would just cut the wood. It just prevents common vandals that happen to have a screwdriver, not determined criminals.
