in the tourist trap up the hiway from me, housebreaking is one of the favorite past times of the local druggies, with 3 or 4 in your neighborhood, your dealing with theives that live in the area, they case the neighborhood looking for changes in activity, ie cars stop moving around in the drive, no grass watering or mowing, mail crammed in the mailbox ect,lights on all night and day, the best deterent for now is hire somebody you trust to house sit for you, and this means live in it while your gone, when you get back invest in some new doors that are really stout, as well as a couple of quality deadbolt locks, [ the kind not sold at walmart] also figure out a way to manuely secure windows on your home other than the original locks they came with , ie sticks in the jams ect, one former thief, [ 12 years behind bars cured him of his hobby] told me the hardest window to get in is the old style casement windows found in homes from the 50's and 60's, the ones with the little 18 inch or so square glasses that crank out, they can also be defeated, but its very noisy and im not going to say how on here , there is really no way to 100% protect your home from a proffessional theif, if they want in they'll get in, the object is to make it as noisy, and time consuming as possible, requiring tools the average druggie, who does most of the break ins, probably wont have with them, or require some brain work which will probably defeat them too, also trim up hedges and bushed that are next to the house, you dont need to provide the theif a nice hidden place to work from,at night if you live on some property, a yard lite is also a deterent as is solar driveway liting ect, anything to make it hard for a theif to hang around your place without being seen by somebody
