Get yourself a dog. Dogs cure burglaries.
Burglars are lazy fackers. They'll go the easy place. So if you are the only one in the neighbourhood with a dog, they'll knock off everyone else.
I have two small dogs. My neighbours were done over twice in the 6 years we've been in the property. Including once while they WERE HOME.
Dogs barking = too much bother, try the neighbours house.
Even better if you get yourself a very big quiet pig dog......
