Why Window Bars On The Outside Is Not Okay

This is why Xpanda never recommends putting window bars on the outside.
It would appear from this @newshubnz article that the theives simply tied a rope or chain on and pulled them away.

The article doesnt mention the specific site but its a safe guess they were outside bars for this to be possible.  Xpanda always recommends putting them on the inside for a number of reasons with this being one of them.
