Yes some burglars do mark houses where they're gonna come back to break into or they'll mark it so that other burglars know that your house is a good target to break into due to the valuable stuff.

If you've been broken into before it's best to look around your house and see if you can spot any markings on your home that were not there before.

You should also look for the marks even if you've never been broken into before because it could mean that you're about to be targeted as a break in.

When burglars mark your home they'll put the marks on several places such as on doors, walls, and even bins, outside your property.

If you notice any marks like that in those places that were not there before you should contact police and notify them and they should step up the patrols in the area.
