Home Security

If it's been quiet around these parts lately, it's because I've been in hiding. My house got broken into last week and I'm still a little shaken up. You can read more of the details here.

Does anybody have any good home security tips? There have been a rash of break-ins in my neighborhood over the last few months and I'm worried the guy (or guys) is going to be back.

I do have a separate office in my place that I lock with a key, so at least that's one more thing a burglar would have to break down to get to my valuables, but there is window access that has me concerned. I really don't want to live looking through bars. Are there any other solutions?
