I once heard a policeman giving tips, and a punter was pressing him

Best to find a really good hidey hole for valuable stuff.

Only time I was successfully burgled was many years ago. (a couple of
attempts since then but they didn't get in) And all that was taken was the
VCR. Hardly the sort of thing you could lock up securely when you went
out.

In some ways it might be better to leave a reasonable sum of money easily
found. (not on view, obviously) Rather than have the thief do lots of
damage looking for valuables. Most burglaries in cities are simply junkies
looking for enough money for a fix - as soon as they get that or goods
which they can sell, they're off.

Likely they would keep coming back every time they need more drugs tho.
