I was thinking the same thing. If the tenant had a deadbolt then the damage would be extreme. Also the cost of labour for the contractor.

You can get an empty Louis XIII bottle for $200. Throw some hooch in it and it got broken in the raid you had it on the shelf behind the door and didn't notice until after they left. That's over $5k right there.
‘Wrong house, man, wrong house!’: Barrie household left with $11,300 repair bill, plenty of questions, after apartment lands on a police search warrant
Barrie police executed a warrant for a North Bay suspect, prepared by an OPP officer, listing the right house but the wrong apartment number.

There's pics and a vid in the article.. door and frame are wrecked.
I don't have Facebook so can't see what's in GG's link... if it showed pics.
No interior pics on fb. Just a few pics of door and video of raid from external camera.

Deadbolt, as predicted.
Brampton is adding permanent cameras with alpr to 50 intersections to start. With all the hats people need, there will be a tinfoil shortage in Brampton soon.

Edit:
Patrick brown also left himself open to a hilarious quote. "We want to make Brampton the worst place in the country". The rest of the sentence that people with an agenda could forget is "to commit a crime".
360-degree cameras, licence plate recognition technology to be installed at Brampton intersections
A number of traffic intersections in Brampton will soon be outfitted with new high-tech cameras.

Curious - are deadbolts not good?
They make a mess of the doorframe. Add in the longer screws recommended for security and both Frame and door turn into kindling if you hit it hard enough. Deadbolts make covert entry harder. If you want a door that doesn't open when bashed, you need to think through the whole design. It's not easy or cheap. The window right beside the door remains easy to enter through.
One repentant crook pointed out that if he saw a ton of hardware on the latch side of the door he bashed in the hinge side.
Most chain locks aren't good for much more than keeping the breeze from pushing the door open
And that's one of the upgrades. Longer hardware and dead pins in the hinges make that strategy hurt. Frame still gives way unless you've done something to reinforce it.
Deadbolts are fine, providing they're long enough. The problems occur when the door frame hasn't been sufficiently reinforced to accommodate them. A friend learned this, the hard way, when some tweaker easily kicked door, despite a deadbolt, and robbed his house. The contractor who did the repairs properly reinforced the frame. In any case, if someone like police use a ram on a door, it's eventually coming down and taking the frame with it.
Are there still bylaws banning overly reinforced houses. It was a spin off from biker wars
I think some of those still exist. Don't make your house look like a prison and bylaw/police uave no reason to look at you.
you have to be really paranoid to pay for the install and power but I really like the fast fog machines. Triggered by alarm or panic button and in a few seconds nobody can see anything. At that point you have an advantage as you have a mental image, intruders will be completely disoriented and unable to do very much. As a bonus, that trips the smokes so it adds noise and flashing lights to the chaos. A complete cluster for the intruders.
