Be careful with your keys. Many burglaries don't require forcible entry.

Don't hide a key in the mailbox.

Don't leave a spare key over the doorway.

And never leave your house key under the mat.
These are very common hiding places and the thieves know where to look.

Don't put id tags on your key ring. The person that finds them may not return them and will know where the locks are that go with the keys.

Get a removable key chain.

If you have to take your car in for service or give your keys to a parking lot attendant you won't be giving them the keys to your home or business.
