Padlocks, grills and locks

How long does it take to cut a padlock and open an iron grill? Give your best guess. 10 minutes? 15 minutes? Half an hour?

60 seconds. I just saw a padlock and iron grill being opened in less than a minute. Just shocking!! It was decent quality padlock and strong iron grill. Howis this possible? The locks were opened by a cutter and a master key. In case you are wondering, this was done legally. The house owner did not have the lock keys.

How vulnerable are our homes? I am sure what is invented by man can be outdone by another man. Security is not an exception. Have more locks? Install a perimeter fencing? Alarm system? Security guards? Is this a solution? I wonder.
