i see a few options:

• move to a quieter neighborhood, further away from the big cities.
• get better connected with ur neighbors - start a neighborhood watch.
• get a big dog; make sure to entrain core obedience.
• install cages around ur windows and doors. install double doors.
• do not leave anything that looks valuable in plain sight, visible thru windows of the house or the car.
• fake cameras (cheaper) that are motion activated and speak "hey, u are being recorded for ur own safety..."
