okay smarty pants.
How about 4 crossbows ( easy to buy) one in each corner with a trip wire. The ear piercing scream would be indicative of a possible capture.
of course exiting the roof after set up could be a bit tricky

do you think people exist who install gutters without downspouts?

I Started a thread on this subject about 2 months ago, some good ideas in it from folks.

Of course, if the moron who called himself a sparky that attacked our place was a gutter fitter, I am 100% sure he wouldn't install a down pipe.

"moron" is a very polite expression.

Maintain a large collection of Pit Vipers in your ceiling space.

I know that most of the comments recently have been in jest but for those that take all they read as serious it should be noted that if you "boobytrap" your house and a would be intruder hurts/kills himself then you will most certainly be liable. TIT and not Texas.

Are you sure about that? Legal liability for an intruders injuries?
Most walls I see are topped in broken glass shards...

No, I'm not sure but I don't want to be the guy that finds out. I have read stories before about intruders that broke into farang houses and hurt themselves and tried to put liability onto the farangs. TIT so as a farang I don't want to be on the other side of the law with a thai. Maybe it would be different with a thai breakin on a thai house.
Also, and I might be totally wrong about this, I thought that that glass on the walls was to keep the cats out. This is common throughout asia and I remember that in Korea being told they put the glass on the walls to keep the cats out.

Do what the casinos do and apply grease to the roof.
Bit of a fire hazard i suppose.

the broken glass is to keep out pink elephants. anybody with that kind of wall will confirm that no pink elephant ever climbed over it.

I am trying In my current design for our house to keep the intruder trapped inside long enough to deliver him/her to the police.
A few doors on strategic places can 'guide' a thief to his own temporary 'prison'. Flashing lights and shrill loud sounds will make the intruder panic long enough and they will look for the nearest open door.
But to steer back to the topic, roofs will have a steep angle like the old ayuthaya style. Roofs will have not have tiles but longer 'plates' that will be bolted on the structure.
For every kind of roof you can use a double layer of chicken wire mesh covered with glassfiber and epoxy. This will help redirect water from inevitable leaks and good luck to an intruder trying to break through that as it is smooth and it will have no openings for someone wanting to use a cutter. Alternative is to buy epoxy boards and connect them with one layer of glassfiber/epoxy to connect and reinforce them.
Don't forget the soffits and if in a townhouse/shophouse check if there are walls between you and your neighbours, seen a few which were open on the attic. The neighbour just had to remove some gypsym ceiling tiles and climb up and walk to another to get entry. All hidden from view.

Maybe a teflon spray. 
Will keep the roof nice and clean too.

One possible alternative would be expanded & rolled-flat steel sheet. Very light weight, should be as cheap or cheaper that plain sheet. Just fabricating this stuff in the shop never seems to go bloodless.

If you want to secure your existing roof that is not a tiled one, made up bar grills fixed between purlins but there's no cheap way.
An over-roof with metal battons and tiles is another.

... attach a grenade pin to every perimeter tile, with the grenade fixed to the framing?

ahhh, a mousetrap - like the mantraps we designed into casinos. One could have some fun with that!
As for the party walls, yes! even new townhomes in LOS are likely to have breezeblocks of all things. havent seen missing walls, but don't doubt that they do exist. Grout solid those breezeblocks, if for nothing more than fire/life safety and acoustic privacy.
