Another deterrent to "would be" burglars is Operation Identification.

Mark your valuables with your California Driver's License number preceded by the letters "CA."
Post Operation I.D. stickers in your doors and windows to warn criminals to stay away.
Burglars don't want marked merchandise because it is difficult to fence and evidence of guilt if they are caught.
So mark your items as conspicuously as possible without defacing them.
Photograph and catalog those items that cannot be engraved (jewelry, silverware, antiques).
Operation I.D. also facilitates the return of stolen property when it is recovered.
