With that said, bumping has become increasingly common lately, as it requires very little skill, tools to do it aren't hard to get at all, and it leaves little trace.
I have a home alarm system, less for its deterrent effect, and more as a means of attracting attention. If someone bumps a lock to get inside my home, especially if I'm home, I want there to be some warning and a racket to draw some attention when an outer door or window is opened unexpectedly.
Even if a neighbor is looking right at someone trying to bump my lock, it's too easy for the burglar to just angle their body to hide what you're doing and they look like they're just using a key to get in the house legitimately.
