I know that security is a bit of a show and its really more of a deterant, but I was wondering realistically how I could prevent someone breaking and entering a small-ish American home? What is actually effective?

I mean, building a moat does tell that you probably are rich enough to either pay someone to come over and do all that, or buy/rent a machine to dig & fill it, or are well-off that you have enough free time & energy to dig it without a machine... (might also need something to line the moat with so that the water isn't just sucked up by the soil)

On the other hand, if someone dug up a moat around a whole house with a shovel all by themselves, it'd probably be wiser not to mess with them...
