We were robbed this morning.

94. I live in a safe neighborhood but have spent several hundred on home security

First, I'd like to say I'm glad you and your wife were not harmed physically but the emotional distress you two are feeling is quite bad and I'm sad about that.

Exterior lighting around the home except the south side which is well lit by the street light. Upgraded exterior doors along with a reinforced door from the kitchen to the basement and a upgraded master bedroom door. By upgraded I mean the strike plates are heavy duty, the door knobs and deadbolts are grade 2 and the 1/2" screws for the strike plates and hinges have been replaced by 3 1/2" screws. These screws are long enough to bite into the 2X6 exterior rough in frame and 2X4 interior door frame and not just the flimsy door frame itself. I probably am the only person in the county that has a deadbolt on the master bedroom door. Video doorbells with motion detection (Ring) cover the front (west side) and back (east side) entrances.

Sometime in the near future, I'll be installing jamb shields, door shields, hinge shields and pry shields to the exterior doors and a jamb shield to the master bedroom door. I'll also install a video doorbell on the basement entrance which will cover the north side of the house.
