I was checking around the net for some home security repair/tips after
my place was broken into in the middle of the day. I did find one
semi-helpful site: www.discovery.com/allstate.

Hoping that people can point me in the right direction - do you have
any tips or know of any books or articles that would help.

Thanks.

Your local police will come by and go over your house and its weakneses,
and give advise on what to do, free.

Forget all the home security and take out a bigger insurance policy. A safe
that is too big and heavy for 3 men to carry off is about all you can do.
Don't keep much money in the house. Anyone that is prepaired will be in and
out in a short time nomater what you do for a reasonable price..

In short, make you house more difficult and less desirable to break into
than your neighbors.

Physical security is best. Bars on doors/windows. Locked fence. Etc.

Then at least alarm stickers all over the place. This will discourage them.
Get stickers/signs here...

Cameras (along with signs) even if not connected can get them to go
elsewhere.

If you do the above and they still break in (very bad areas), then get high
security locks (Medico), an alarm system, and/or real cameras with 24 hour
recording. Alarms in yellow pages (security), cameras and recorders here...

Home protection can be broken down into several areas:

1. Hardening the site (sturdy doors, locks, burglar bars),
2. Discouraging the malefactor through threat of instant discovery and
apprehension (monitored alarms, stickers), and
3. Killing the goblins.

Regarding #3, remember, whatever you say to the authorities, will convict
you irrespective of whether you're guilty. The safest thing to say - if you
have to say something - is: "I'm distraught. I think I'm having a heart
attack. I need to go to the hospital." Use the interregnum to contact your
lawyer. The next safest thing is: "I heard him scream 'I've got an axe. I'm
gonna kill you and every member of your freaking family! And your dog, too!
I'm the real Freddy Kreuger!' And I, in fear for my life, fired a warning
shot but I was shaking so much from fear the bullet hit him in the forehead.
I have to lie down."

I've seen fake cameras advertised. Maybe the intruders learn to
recognize those now.

Yup. a big scary looking dog and vicious cats.
And living in a better neighborhood makes difference too.
