Install some motion activated spotlights to brighten otherwise darkened areas around your home. And put a sign in your front yard warning of a vicious guard dog. You don't even need dog. Just a sign.

Believe it or not burglars look for things like that when they case a neighborhood. They want as little resistance as possible when they pick a target. So if they see some of these signs on your house they are bound to go somewhere else. Exactly what you want!
