Seriously.
It's getting kind of old.
(I'm in Huntsville right now, staying with my parents while I do my summer jobs. My home in Tuscaloosa that I stay with with two housemates got broken into. The back-door was deadbolted and, thusly, kicked in by the criminals. They proceeded to kick in every door in the house and went through our belongings, searching for drugs perhaps.)
Now, I take pain medicine. Most of you know this. I have a tendency to keep my old medicine bottles for some reason, so my room was littered with them. It was also littered with Cipro, a medicine that I no longer take, and other anti-biotics that I no longer take. I can find solace that these criminals, who were probably looking for drugs, would be extremely perturbed by the fact that all of the pain medicine bottles were empty and all the non-pain medicine bottles were not.
Apparently they missed a ton of stuff that they could have stolen. Right now I'm talking with my housemate to check on a couple of items in particular (the only thing I really care about is my extra checkbook, which was in my top drawer) to see if they were taken.
But yeah. This is the second time in little over a year that my place of residence has been violated by thieves and scallywags.

if it makes you feel better my roommates are worthless too
fill an old empty prescription bottle of yours with laxatives or something and leave it out in the open, just to mess with them if it happens again
Or computer monitor.
Or checks.
Or my Jack Daniels.
Worst. Thieves. Ever.
...other than to scatter your old medicine bottles around.
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
Maybe they thought you're one of those domestic terrorists, and were searching for proof
Drugs, I am guessing.
Probably spent all their time trying to figure out the street price of moxiflaccin
glad youre okay man that is some prime bullshit
twice in a year? seriously tape cheap cameras over your door or something
also fill your pill bottles with rat poison
Most Pharm techs will sell the names and addresses of heavy scripters to petty thieves, at least it was common back home.
My house in IL was approached multiple times by kids obviously looking for a way in. Luckily Frisco handled that.
what
not even 'some'
'most'
what
I suggest a simple bear-trap
I guarantee when they break in and see you standing there with that, they will not break in again.
Hopefully because they are dead... because you shot the stupid fuckers.

Have you considered investing in a guard dog?
Or better yet, a guard bear?
I'm told having a pump-action shotgun is the best home defense weapon because just the sound of pumping it is enough to scare the shit out of most criminals - and you won't have to shoot them at all.
first flat I ever had was raided the first night I was out of town
they took my PC, N64+TV, microwave and stereo
kicked in my door + broke half the windows
and the pharm techs selling addresses is really common, the call centre I used to work for that cold called people to hawk useless overpriced shit got its numbers for cheap from banks and building societies
That sucks something fierce though
I've never had my home broken into, just my car a couple of times, and man even that is such a shitty feeling
I imagine this would be a good investment.
god please shut the fuck up and never repeat this line of advice
ever
again
just kill yourself
Just set up a bunch of crazy traps and shit, and scare the robbers away through pure youthful gumption.
My bf's place got broken into a few years back. The people just took all the loose change in the place. Nothing else, just the change. Thieves are weird o.O

I tried this before.
It's not as fun after the mailman stops delivering and you have to go pick up your mail at the post office.

JUst in case.
not once have i or others nearby soiled themselves from the sound it makes
They're even cooler in real life kids! Go buy one today!
Isn't that how Texans communicate with one another?
Through furious pumping?
