Is it possible to make a house near impossible to beat?

Scince it is possible for a derpy burgalar in your house to screw up your trap system and make getting to the exit impossible by spraying water with little regard then killing the wife, could you technically make a house that locks everyone out of it using an alt account? Thus the self test is easy to do, but for anybody else it's going to take at least $100,000 bucks in crow bars just to get past the powered doors...
And maybe even more crow bars if your smart and drag the pit bulls towards the entrance...
Not very viable in the begining as powered doors are unbelivably expensive... but if your sitting on a big pile of money and thus, have a break in every 5 seconds, this could definatly be viable.

Yep. There have been plenty of one time robbable houses in the past and I don't see much reason why there won't be any in the present/future.

Houses will never be impossible to beat, but you can make it cost a lot to brute force through. If the fact it's not robbable is obvious you're probably not going to get many bounties, and you can't really go out robbing other's houses or participate in most of the game if you have a broken house.

Right, you can't load your backpack without fixing your broken house.

In v24 that was just released, you now can't even buy paintings.

So, money will just build up in your house until it is finally worth brute-force robbing.
