Yale locks are susceptible to a new technique called lock bumping.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_bumping

It does not damage the lock. So it is difficult to prove to your insurance company that you have been burgled.

You cannot rely on a yale lock alone. However, there may be some similartypes of lock that cannot be bumped.
