I know that security is a bit of a show and its really more of a deterant, but I was wondering realistically how I could prevent someone breaking and entering a small-ish American home? What is actually effective?

    Any street-facing windows should always be shrouded by curtains or shutters. Don’t let anyone passing by just see into your home.

      Learned that at apartments. Just having everything locked up tight and shutters meant our neighbor got broken into and not us one day.
