I know a bloke through the RFS who lives in an undesirable area and he has put up an electric fence (non-lethal) that he turns on every time he leaves home. Apparently, it works well because he has had only one incident since putting it up 8-9 months ago. As I understand it people can get in by jumping over the fences and gate, but getting out is very difficult with free hands let alone carrying anything worth taking.
