If you do not take flu’s advice, then get some security in the house: alarm system and perhaps a dog. I support having firearms in the house for personal protection only if you know how to use one and do not have small children that might have access to the firearm. However if you have children and firearms, then by all means teach them how to use them at an early age. You do not have to have an attack trained large dog, just a dog that will bark when they hear something unusual or in my dogs case, every time someone rings the bell. Some insurance companies will drop you if you have certain breeds on a list they have. You should also enhance perimeter security if you stay with motion sensing lights.
