You can't make your house impenetratable, but you can make it more difficult so they move on to the next house. The link below is something I have heard of for door reenforcement. I am not sure if there easy ways to improve windows without replaceing them.

Thanks for all the feed back guys I really appreciate it, I'm already get some door jams installed along with some hurricane proof film put on the windows thus making it much harder for someone to come thru them. I guess I'll just install some security lights in the backyard with a "No Trespassing" sign hoping they get the point.

Alright so here's the story guys.

My wife and I are getting ready to move into our first house sometime this month because our second child (boy) will be due sometime in December/January . We've been remodeling for about a month now and things are looking great until I noticed something in our master bedroom. The window seal that holds your window lock was broken, so that got me thinking. With my second child on the way and this being our first home, I wanted to make sure it was the safest place possible with armor glass film and door jams to prevent break ins. At first I thought my father in-law accidentally broke it so I just jammed 2 pieces of wood to keep the window from opening, this was about 3 weeks ago. Today I went back to do some touch up on the paint and noticed that the pieces of wood that I had placed on the window to keep it closed had fell on the floor. Now I know that someone attempted to break into our home, which is kind of stupid because we haven't moved anything in yet. I ask my neighbor about it and he told me that it had to be the people that lived behind me because they throw parties every weekend in their backyard. So here is my question to you guys, should I put up a "Trespassers Will Be Shot, Survivors Will Be Shot Again" sign in my backyard that is clearly visible? I not saying that I will shoot anyone that gets onto my yard, unless of course it was a home invasion, but just a warning sign. Should I? Or am I just asking for trouble? I could really use some help, thanks!
