Some of the suggestions for strengthening home security and installing alarm systems above look like a lot of $$$ and hassle. And then you have to remember setting the darn thing every day, several times, reminding yourself of the possibility of being ripped off every time. What toll does that take on your well-being?
IMHO life is too short for that. I move to neighborhoods that are considered safe in terms of crime rates. I have dogs. Yes, I may lose some cash and a few computers if someone swipes through my house while I am out with the dogs, but it hasn't happened in decades, so I think the risk is very low. I also don't own a ton of great stuff, I am afraid. And I do have insurance if someone would take the time to clean me out (i.e. take all my tools and the 993) while I am away for longer periods.
That's just my two cents (hidden in my mattress)

It's not what they do or take while you are not there. It's what they could do to you if you are there. Have run my own security company for over 20 years. I have insurance for when I'm not at home. I have an alarm for when I am.
To the OP. Get a couple of motion sensors inside and then get every external window and door fitted with a combination reed switch, acoustic and seismic sensor. You can arm the house perimeter while sleeping.
