Make sure all windows and doors are locked after dark, install motion sensors that activate security lighting, make note of all strangers and unfamiliar vehicles in the area. Any of this things can prevent the loss of valuables.

We would also love to add to this advice, beefing up your door hardware is a great measure also! many people have no idea how easy it is to have their door kicked in by an home invader. we had an attempted home invasion recently but the intruders did not gain entry because the door hardware was upgraded with Steel Door Armor you can find it at steeldoorarmor.com I give you my word this is not an attempt to advertise, we are citizen with safety concerns just like all the rest.
