In most cases of daytime burglaries, they either knock on the door and if someone answers, they have some lame story or question and move on. If no answer, they head around back and kick in the door. Or, if you have a home phone and it's listed they will call to see if they get an answer and if not....well you get the idea. If your back yard is fenced, get a big dog and have a trusted friend or neighbor feed the dog while your away. That will probably keep them from coming in the back way. Our home was burglarized many years ago and I had dogs in back, but they kicked in the front door. Someone walking down the street saw them carrying stuff out the front door and that scared them away, but not before getting all my guns as well as the usual stuff such as jewelry, TV etc. They were never caught. After that I installed an alarm system, but did it all myself. Audible alarm as well as a phone dialer which I had dial myself as well as the police dept. (had to pay an annual alarm fee to the city). Had a few false alarms and the police did show up. The funny part I remember after the break in, the police came to make the report and asked if they had been in the garage and I said yes the door was open but nothing was missing. The officer wanted to go out back and look around anyway, so I followed him out. I had a Great Dane but she was in her pen at the time, and couldn't be seen from the garage. His radio went off and she started barking (and her bark was enough to get anyones attention) and that guy ran......and I mean ran back into the house. I asked him what was wrong and he explained the burglars obviously hadn't been out there! Sadly short of never leaving your home, you can be a victim anytime no matter what you try to do to avoid it. I had a buddy that got a clapper (you know the thing that turns the light on when you clap your hands) and hooked it to a radio. Said the radio was on quite often when he would get home from work, figured it was someone knocking on the door. Guess they weren't smart enough to knock again to turn it off!
