Here are the 10 hiding spots the article says burglars know all about. (I'm sure clever Freepers have found better hiding spots.)

Under the mattress, Bedroom closet, Dresser drawers, Portable safe, Medicine cabinet, Freezer, Office drawers, Vase, Liquor cabinet, Suitcase

But of course your main goal is to stop burglars from getting into your house in the first place (dogs, lights, etc.). The article has some good links addressing that.

Landmines would be great except for all that legal stuff.

A bouncing betty loaded with dyes banks use or pepper spray perhaps?

Dragnet mentioned stuff like this in a few episodes.

Much still applies.

Have a decoy safe. Small and in one of those hiding places listed and relatively easy for someone to find. Bad guy thinks he got the stuff and hurries out. Gotta be quick about it! Best defense though is dogs. I have 3 and one who sounds like a 140 pounder and one who acts like Cujo.

Our stuff is not worth stealing and if it is stolen then a trip to Goodwill should be an upgrade sufficient to replace most everything.

Burglars seldom go into basements or attics.
They also don’t check children’s toys, toy boxes or dirty laundry in hampers.
