Know who you let in your home. 90% of all home burglaries are committed by someone who has been in the home in the recent past. Most are by amateurs who turn out to be juveniles and it happens in the mid afternoon. Car prowls on the other hand happen at night when the car is parked on the street.
Basic intrusion systems involve window and door sensors that are activated by opening them.
Other than yourselves, what is in your home that you wish to protect? What items could be stolen. Highly desirable items such as TV's stereos and computers are the primary targets besides cash.

To me a real good hand gun kept where I can get to it in a hurry. I live out in the country and if I heard someone breaking
into the house in the middle of the night I would get my gun
first then if I had time I would call the sheriff. Chances are by
the time the law arrived unless you have a weapon you will either be robbed or worse.
