There are usually signs that lead up to a home invasion. Most of the time there are drugs, drug money, or jewlery cash or a small safe, electronics. guns or a potential for a ransom. I worked as a security contractor in Afghanistan and Africa for four years here are some tips I picked up from experience
There is always an inside person giving intelligence. Your maid could be in cahoots with the robbers or her daughter is screwing a street thug and hears your maid talking how you pay them or how much money you have or how stupid you are with money etc.
You had work done at the house. Most people dont think to ask a home improvement company how long they have known the workers, are they family people, do they know the families etc. Some companies will do work for very cheap just to gather intel on your security patterns in your house pets etc.
Never let your dogs out around strangers, better to think they are killers rather than not.
Crown your walls with broken glass lay planks studded with nails behind shrubs low key defenses will stop an invasion cold.
It is wise to have an inner security door in the hallway leading to where you sleep. Lock it at night and then open it in the morning.
If you dont believe in firearms or defending yourself pay the money to get a trained attack dog. I like dobermans they are fast and effective. Shepards are great defense dogs also.
