Just an opinion, but I would replace that Master M736 with something like Abloy's PL 975. I've never met a Master lock that wasn't easy or fairly easy to pick. Often in under 30 seconds. And I'm not that terribly good at it. Last time I looked at those locks at Lowes, ALL of them had the same key code. Not very reassuring to me.
For those with a Honeywell/ Ademco alarm panel, you might want to call up your security company and ask if 'Total Connect' is an option you can buy.
It allows for cameras to be wired directly to your alarm panel (saving you $$$ on a DVR or NVR), and the video is accessible via a web browser or a smartphone. It'll notify you based on motion in front of the camera by SMS or email.
It's a way of the alarm companies to make more monthly service $$$ from you, but it is nice to be able to see video of your house or assets remotely and it's not very expensive to get into.

Never leave a trail in the woods a deer hunter can trail.
Followed him to his house.
The police did the rest

One simple, inexpensive addition to any new home should be a nice storm door. Your average drug addict door kicker (and folks that's what most burglaries in OK are) will skip homes with storm doors for the easier non equipped front door. This is something that is visible from the street and is a basic of home casing for the typical door kicker.
Don't have parties or get togethers at your home where strangers come and go, it allows easy casing from the inside.
Imagine in your mind what you are going to do if woke from a deep slumber by loud bangs on your front door, have a plan.

I'm a huge fan of this: "How to Communicate Effectively With the Police." If you're involved in an incident, you should be able to help the police out as much as possible.
+1 on "robbing yourself." I had a friend of mine try to break in to my place, and she found a way in that I hadn't considered because she was light enough to stand on a certain drain pipe safely.
