Not one house with a dog has ever been broken into. There is something good about a barking dog !Joni Ribera [#47]

Keep your car key fob close at hand, maybe on the table or nightstand. If you hear prowling noises or you suspect a breakin, hit the panic button for the car alarm. That will probably get peoples' attention real quick. Also, tell your neighbours so they know it is an emergency. Particularly good if you live alone.Make sure a neighbour has your front door key to get in to help.

Light sensor LED bulbs that turn your lights on at sunset and off at sunrise can ben ordered from Amazon Mexico. To see the product listing on Amazon, click here Costco also has a large motion sensor light which is solar powered, so there's no need to connect it into your power lines. Joni and Carl Ribera [#47] have installed it and any movement results in a very bright light.
Steel plates on patio doors

Ensure our patio sliding glass doors can not be lifted out of their tracks or have their framing easily removed. The steel angle and plate, when installed as shown below, can only be removed by drilling out the rivets or by using a hammer drill and chisel. That would be noisy and need tools a burglar would not normally carry.
Homeowners can order from Lyle Zeigler [#20] and have their handyman install them.
