A
Alarm
Euro profiles have always had that issue we knew that years ago, hence fitting shorter cylinders and lock guards ( which have a dual purpose). Then with Evva we started importing anti-snap cylinders in the early 80`s.
You mention Abloy, who are now with Assa. This can be picked, here is a link to various locks and methods, all available on the net, no secrets there!

Also there are picking kits available for Chubb lever and detainer locks. Then there are the ones you make yourself
Now look at Kaba, seriously good cylinders http://www.kaba.co.uk/Products-Solutions/Mechanical-Locks/67688/pextra-lam-sbs.html Yet you will note the items have passed testing but the most they say is the product is RESISTANT, not impregnable.
You will note the use of sidebars to assist in anti bumping but if you have a blank it will suffice to avoid this as most sidebars are a standard size and position, also there to give key exclusivity.
What needs to be done is the sale of bumping keys or restricted keys to non trade, and the trade persons who break this are suspended from further purchasing...............some chance.
To finish for non tech people in this field, the average idiot running about cannot do most of what has been discussed. Brute force is generally what they use. Professional locksmiths will not give out the keys needed. The problems we have discussed ( and sorry to Hixxy) is these new "help you start up" companies with 1 3 or 5 day "Become a locksmith" courses. They do not do criminal record checks ( The ones we looked at did not anyway), so it could be anyone being given instruction on the opening methods, but rest assured a days worth does not prepare you for what you have to do in the field so to speak.
Just make sure you lock up when you go out, set the alarm if you have one. And dont worry.
