I always say claymore mounted under the door, when they realize you are willing to accept some collateral damage they might think twice before stealing something. (for those more sensitive, I am saying this tongue in cheek)

Sorry to hear about this. There is nothing I hate more than a thief. Some people just deserve to be shot...

Just to throw in my 2 cents. A screwdriver under the handle (back of front door handle) will let a thief unlock the door. Yes the back door handle fits, but they can still get in. Jimmy Jammers will keep them from prying in, but it will damage the door below the handle. Sometimes bad, sometimes barely noticeable.

They do make Jimmy Jammers for both front and rear doors so be sure to order the right one if you switch handles. My experience with the front door jimmy jammers is they can still punch the lock and if they break the key cylinder free of the cheap hose clamp (not that hard to do), they can twist the lock and still get in. The plate does prevent them from prying under the handle and getting in that way, but it does damage the handle and a little bit of the door in the process.

As appealing as that sounds, the OP is in California. And here in the Republik, its against the law to leave a dog tied up for more than 4 hours....
