Alarm, dog and shotgun?
The older I get the more I appreciate my alarm. We lockup every night and my labradoodle is large. I'm told that dogs are better then alarms. The only problems have been alarm battery needs replacement every few years and if the power is out for an extended period the low power battery alert wakes you up and scares you to death.
It helps if you are friendly with the neighbors they can be an extended set of eyes and ears. If something looks fishy call the police.
