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?

    Who is your enemy?

    If it is just some random burglar, create some fear with triple locks and cameras and you are good.

    If it is a government operation, you better leave the country before they even start looking for you.

      Ageeed. If random burglar, dud cameras and the “secured by” lawn signs are plenty effective. The appearance of security is a sufficient deterrent for all but determined robbers, or those targeting you specifically (where a camera will not do anything for prevention anyway).
