Looking for a Deadbolt where the mechanism can only turn if the key is in/Not Tobe confused with a double cylinder.

I had my house broke into several times even with both a Medeco maxim deadbolt and a Mul T Lock Hercular, both known to be the best high security deadbolts $300+ each, I have both these and a schlage doorknob so three locks total and they were able to unlock them with no signs of damage several times. My camera shows the locks litteraly poping/turning normally as if it was turned by key, when the ppl were 15′ away as the door swings open a couple inches.

I believe Its some type of magnetic field or ultrasonic pressure waves, you can hear the concrete wall crackleing and popping but no visible cracks can be seen.

I need ideas on getting some lock they can’t do this to, If the deadbolt mechanism could only be turned with the key in then that should work. All deadbolts I can find the mechanism can be turned by force when the key isn’t in, similar to a thumb turn. I thought double cylinder deadbolts would be like this but all the ones I know of the mechanism can still be turned both ways without the key in it so long as you can find a way to apply a force to turn it, you can see this by using a screwdriver to turn it when you have 1side off as an example.
