burglarproof
Secure against intruders
Burglarproof means resistant to break-ins or theft.
A burglarproof lock, safe, or building is designed to prevent burglars from gaining entry: The new windows are supposedly burglarproof.
Like similar compounds (waterproof, fireproof), the term describes protection rather than absolute immunity—determined burglars may still find a way.
