Would the house be any more secure? No.
Even if the anti-burglar chimney system was 100% effective, the house would be no more secure as long as the doors and windows could not be locked.
The owner would simply be poorer by one small fortune. Or worse, the owner may develop a false sense of security and forget about his doors and windows hanging open.
Debating the potential level of effectiveness of the chimney system is not useful. Even at 100% it's useless. Debating whether or not there exists a burglar who would bypass an open door to try the chimney is equally pointless. As a defensive system, it is simply of nil value as long as the doors and windows cannot be secured.

Why bother with an Army, a Navy, and an Airforce in the first place? In the worst case, it's all been a colossal waste of money anyway, right?
