Sorry to hear that, gsdev. By the way, there are quite a lot of companies that do home alarm system on the market. Basic stuff should include some knock sensors, and some even come with CCTV. The 1st thing I did before I move into my new home few months ago was to install an alarm system 1st. Cost me only RM2k+. On top of that, I also have a steel telescopic baton at my bed side...should be enough to break some skulls if the alarm mulfunction.
