HOW TO AVOID HAVING YOUR HOUSE BROKEN INTO?
SECURE SLIDING DOORS AND WINDOWS.
Intruders often try to go in through side doors, patio doors, and windows because most homeowners neglect these security weaknesses. Oftentimes windows and patio doors prevent an intruder from entering only because they are shut. Always remember to lock your sliding doors and windows. Extra protection like window guards and bars and more advanced sliding door locks can help, too.
DON’T SHOW OFF YOUR VALUABLE POSSESSIONS
Instead of keeping your fancy cars and other nice possessions visible from the street, keep them out of site. As simple as this tactic may seem, it helps. If robbers don’t suspect you have valuables in your house they are less likely to take the risk of entering. Keep your blinds shuttered at night so that a thief can’t easily look in. Instead of posting your flat screen TV and other electronics on a wall, put them in armoire that can close, and do this for other devices too like an XBox. The less that is visible from the outside, the less likely burglar are to break in.
KEEPING YOUR LIGHTS ON
When you’re lights are on, burglars might think you’re still home. So rather than try to save on the electric bill at night, turn on the lights. A couple lights on in the house can fool many would-be robber, and a motion-sensor light near the garage or back of the house, where windows are, are good deterrents, too.
KEEP HOUSE CLEAN AND TIDY
Many robbers would rather ransack a home that isn’t as well taken care of, because it can seem as though the homeowners neglect the house and may not be home. Yet a house that is well taken care of, clean from the outside, and doesn’t show off, can show that the homeowner cares about his or her house and will have defenses the thief may not want to face.
DON’T LEAVE OUT A SPARE KEY
Instead give a spare to a neighbor or a couple friends you deeply trust.
SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS
Install a camera system to keep thieves wary of breaking into your home. In fact, in some temporary cases, like when you’re home is being remodeled or it’s new construction, a cheap $10 fake camera can do just as well in a pinch.

Call the police and file a report, take documentation of the break in, check for anything missing, clean up the mess, get a home security audit and have the damages repaired. if you are leasing, check your lease for who is liable for the damages.
