I have a pipe in our back window that works like a sliding door. One day I was locked out and had to break in. I now keep that window almost always locked. And take solace in that its easier to kick the back door in than climb up into that window.
For sliding doors there are specialized locks now that lock the door panel(s) to the frame. However "L brackets" out panel are cheaper and French doors are nicer with working lock & bracket systems.
This seems to be a good one to solve most of the problem, especially if small kids are in the house.

That sucks. Here's some suggestions on protecting your home in the future.
Visit /r/homedefense but it may be a bit over the top.
You can get a sliding door lock like this which is very effective.
There are a large number of smart devices that don't cost a ton, are easy to install, and offer great feature. For example, I have several of these guys around my house. They connect to your wifi and then your phone. You get real-time alerts. You can also daisy-chain them with other IFTTT devices. For example, when the door opens, a light can turn on, etc.
While expensive, the Nest cams are super easy to set up and work great.
GeoArm security company offers great monitoring options if you have or get an alarm.
Change the locks but research them - some are trivial to get through!
For all outdoor entries, removed, drill out, and replace the screws holding the strike plates with 3" - 5" long screws that go into the studs. This will make it significantly harder to break into a door.
Get a fake tv device which makes it look like someone is home.
Plant roses outside / under all windows. The bigger the better.
Motion activated lights are great, just mount them out of reach and install LED bulbs (regular bulbs fail quickly due to heat/cold).
Even without an alarm, buy legitimate company signs like these Brinks ones (or find ADT ones) that says you have an alarm. I've heard unconfirmed data that this lessens break ins.
There are a large number of small glass break alarms like these that can be installed.
You can also get movement based alarms like these.
I don't endorse any of them, those are just what came up first in my searches.
Hope that helps.
