Maybe some video doorbell or ext cameras? I know how living in a rural area makes it all feel a bit overkill, but might be worth it for situations like this. I buy off brand cameras where I can pop an SD card in it and it's free. I installed systems for all family when 2020 got with COVID and the riots over George Floyd and whatnot. We're in Illinois, rural outside Chicago but still affected. We have a lot of crime come out from Chicago too which sucks as people go around through vehicles all over. I'm also a big tech guy so this was simple enough.
People are too trusting to leave cars unlocked, or too stupid saying locking their door adds a broken window to the lost of things to fix when broken into. However, I reiterate insurance claims and police reports don't look good when stuff is unsecured.
Well you'll be happy to know that we don't body shame here.
We will however relentlessly mock you if you use Windows 11.
