Alarms:
Harbor Freight and other stores, sell inexpensive alarms you can put on your doors and windows. http://www.harborfreight.com/wireless-door-and-window-alarm-92745.html
Motion sensor lights http://www.harborfreight.com/36-led-solar-security-light-69644.html
Security cameras you can hook up to your computer. You can even get a web cam to do the work. http://www.harborfreight.com/weatherproof-security-camera-with-night-vision-47546.html
Always go with a camera featuring night vision.
If you've got more cash, a professional security service and/or more expensive camera system that emails photos and sends alerts. Some baby monitors do this as well.
Put various lights (and tv or radio) in the house on random timers. http://www.amazon.com/Watchdog-Guardian-House-Sitter-Radios/dp/B00H5A8QDG/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1413568449&sr=8-4&keywords=random+light+timers
Don't put empty boxes of recent purchases out in the garbage. It's a great way for thieves to see that you just got a new TV or computer. Likewise, don't carry in valuable or expensive purchases within site of anyone. Pull in and shut garage then unload the car.
Indoor motion sensors on your lights are good too. They walk in and a light goes on, they might just bail. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Westek-360-Degree-Indoor-Motion-Activated-Light-Control-MLC9BC-4/202524824?N=5yc1vZc32r
Dogs are great. I have a two. Not everyone can have them, but they're a great deterrent. If you can't get one, put out dog bowls and leashes. Put those emergency pet stickers in highly visible locations. More subtle than a fake 'Beware of Dog' sign. http://www.amazon.com/SAFETY-234001-2-Count-Static-Window/dp/B00079YTTC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413568825&sr=8-1&keywords=emergency+pet+sticker
Keep purses, computers, keys and other important/valuable items, out of site of windows. Make the thief work to find what they want.
Engrave your valuables along with recording via picture and serial numbers which comes in handy for insurance claims. http://www.harborfreight.com/electric-engraver-46099.html
Check your house for unscrewed/burned out light bulbs, things you can see from outside and remedy those items.
Deadbolts are your friend, but make sure they're installed properly.
Replace glass in sidelights, low windows and doors, with shatterproof glass if you can afford it.
Arm yourself. If you have crooks bold enough to break in while you're home, who knows what they will do. Be prepared.
You've been hit once, it wouldn't be unlikely you'll be hit again unless you make it harder for it to happen.
