Well they can't be burglars if they never show up :p

They just tell your roomba to rob you.
Also, no update should be carried out unless the user initiated it - for instance, a flashing led or an app notification tells the user an update is available - and it needs to be initiated by using the same controls as would be used for a roll-back, ensuring you do not end up locked out after updating.
That being said, the idea of a lock being online scares the bejeezus out of me. Call me a luddite, but as a minimum I want my burglars or vandals to show up, rather than nessing with me from wherever.
