Sometimes an idea works better than you expected it to, and you just have to roll with it - this is one of those puzzles!
Hint for the break-in, as recommended by some of the Discord testers:
Look at the interaction between R4C2, R5C2 and R5C3.

Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.

- Ratio Kropki - digits separated by a black Kropki dot have a ratio of 2:1. No negative constraint.
- X pairs - digits separated by X sum to 10. No negative constraint.

A little too easy for a 2* imo but enjoyable nonetheless
>>>NSM here - isn't it funny how people's opinions can differ? I had a few people insist that the break-in made it a 2 star!
