Criminals are stupid.............They will be back.
Invest in new locks and security measures, or start sleeping there with a 9mm under your pillow.
That really sucks.

People will steal the strangest things.
A week or so ago I was en-route to pick up a car.
I came to a rail road crossing that had just been overhauled with new asphalt and ballast stone.
The railroad is upgrading the tracks in order to be able to increase the speed of the trains.
There were three people struggling to load a large basket of ballast stone into an Explorer.
They already had three baskets in the vehicle.
I stopped and got out and told them that they were very close to going to jail for stealing rocks.
I made them unload the Explorer and get the hell out of there.
The presence of my pistol on my belt kept them from arguing with me.
I called the incident in to the sheriffs office and gave them the tag info.
Rocks. They were stealing rocks!

Sorry to hear that Rick. I hope you had an in depth conversation with the patrol officer that showed up (and I hope he gave a poop). Usually the responding officer is the best one to give you advice on how else they might break in after you beef up whatever entry they got in this time.
He works the neighborhood. He's seen all the different break ins. Ask him about what he's seen and what he knows or suggests that might fix it. If he offers to send someone else out to help you with these suggestions, keep trying to pump him for info. You want to talk to a beat cop who's seen it, not some desk jockey.
Good luck.

I had a subwoofer stolen from my Excursion last year from the barn door. Took the panel and all. Parked right beside my bedroom window. Cops took prints no luck said it was prolly a crack head. I keep that window slightly open now lol.
