Anything you do to try to stop burglaries can be overcome.
I think you have to have a holistic approach which includes all or most of the following.
Hide valuables.
Disguise valuables.
Have at least two trained guard dogs (black so they are hard to see at night)
Geese and or Guinea fowl.
Good Fences
Obstacles to make taking large or heavy items hard or impossible.
Motion detectors with lights and sirens.
Make your house look like some one is there by having lights going on and off.
Make your place look intimidating.
Booby traps (non-lethal)
Be very selective about whom you invite over.
And finally since this is a non-gun thread, if you catch someone, get in as many machete hacks on 'em about the head and shoulders prior to calling the cops or coroner.
