A thief can remove or break the railing if it's a U Lock and if it's a cable lock he has plenty of time to cut it. Sometimes it's just easier to to break the rail.
As for lockable back and front doors on tenements there's always some clown who loses his key and somehow can't buy a replacement so the door is left open. He might as well leave his flat door open as an open invite.

Opened the window catch and climbed in. This about 4am. Dog slept on next door. Useless no biscuits for weeks!!!Anyway our "master criminal" drank a small bottle of cola from the fridge. Then put on rubber gloves to carefully steal a food mixer, two bottles of whisky a bottle of vodka and some soft drinks cans plus some crisps. Found the break in at 6.30am. Anyway the cops came round and the forensics guys did some swabs and got finger prints off the cola bottle, round the window and DNA from the coke bottle. Brilliant. They identified the guy within a couple of weeks. I guy in his 40s. The forensic guys showed me where he had used "marigold" type gloves-they leave a distinct imprint-on kitchen cupboard doors and on a small money box the wife has in a kitchen drawer. The few pounds in it had gone. To cap it all the marigold gloves were found in the back garden along with a glass cutter type tool! Finger prints and DNA again off the gloves matched the cola bottle.

Last night my neighbor caught a guy trying to get into our house.
Don't want to say any more as he's now in custody & a case is pending.
Maybe it's on the rise or maybe coincidence guess time will tell
