Houses that have the appearance of looking vacant are extremley vunerable to being burgled. It is recommended using timers on lamps and light switches and even on radios, to give the appearance of the house being occupied.
Robust doors and windows, properly fitted with quality locks are a good deterrent. However, an open door or window is an open invitation to any nearby burglar.
