I live in a similar neighborhood. I keep most of my stuff in safes. To prevent anyone from even considering entering my home though, I have security cameras (both interior and exterior) and an alarm system. It cost me about $1000 for the cameras (Arlo) and $750 for the security system (Simplisafe). Fortunately, both systems are designed so you can install them yourself, my city reimbursed me for half the cost of the security cameras, I get a discount on my home owner's insurance from having the alarm, and the alarm system is the only thing with a monthly fee and it's pretty reasonable (~$15).

I am confident no one could get my cards if they entered my home, but the added layer of protection, and the signs warning about it, make me rest a little more comfortably. Most of our break ins are teenagers from the local high school looking for electronics, and those kids will likely choose a neighbors house.
