Never leave a note for a mail carrier, UPS, FedEx etc., that you are not home.
Well lite homes and properties are less likely to be broken into.
When it comes to service workers, do not let them in when you are not home. Be sure not to shut yourself off from exits, and have your phone handy when servicemen are in your home. Be sure to let someone know when they come and when they leave.
