It appears someone tried to break into my place of residence

I noticed the bedroom window is broken in pieces.
Someone has tried to jemmy the window open and in the attempt, the glass smashed. There is an indentation in the wood frame 25mm - 1" - wide and the deviding wood is bowed slightly.
No idea when this might have happened. Though within the previous 20 hours.
Would they try it in daylight hours?
I am at work 5 days a week until 4pm.
Did they try after I went to work at 4am? If this was the case then that would imply the perpetrator knew I would not be at home. One of my neighbours?
No entry was gained
Reported to landlord.
 

Sad. In my last house I had an alarm system. It didn't really cost that much for monitoring. I didn't have much to steal, just wanted police or firemen notified instantly in case something happened.

What is your residence like? Is it in a town, or a city, or in a rural area? Is it a house you rent or lease? If so, is it the only house on a city or suburban lot? Is it in a portion of a duplex? Or is it an apartment in a larger building?

I live in a big city in the suburbs, Block of 10 units. Could only have occurred after I had gone to work. Miscreant wannabe burgler.
 
Sadly, there is always someone watching. I live opposite a recreational area and it's obvious that people are using it to observe people and their routines. There have been several incidents recently that show that people know when someone leaves the house, where they park their cars, what they lock away in their garage. Not much you can do apart from installing cameras and some sort of alarm system.

This could only have happened after 4am. Surely they would not attempt it in daylight hours. 9 other units, people always around.
 
When I lived in my house I had a big dog and an alarm system. Now being alone it’s why I live in a condo on the third floor in a secure building. The hallways are inside so if anyone was trying to break through the door all the new would hear. I have 2 little dogs that would sound the alarm:)).
