Yes a lot of burglars strike twice and burglarize the same house and sometimes even multiple times.

If you've had a lot of valuable stuff that the burglar took the first time then they will be willing to return again later to the same house and risk breaking into the home again to take more stuff.

If you've been burglarized once it's a good idea to get a security alarm system and security cameras to stop and catch the burglars before they can enter your home.

Installing even some dummy cameras can deter burglars and pretend to say goodbye to someone in your home while leaving the home in case a burglar is watching and waiting for you to leave.

Also setting lights on timers to turn on and off at certain times of the day and night can help make it look like someone is inside your home and may want to stay away.

If you're gonna be gone for a few days or longer make sure you leave no mail in your mailbox or leave any newspapers on your doorstep.

If you're gone longer than a few weeks during lawn mowing season have someone come by and mow your lawn so that it looks like you're home and not away.
