Posting that you're going away is a huge problem. A lot of footballers tend to do this over here in the UK and they've been targetted by burglars multiple times. They're obviously going to be bigger targets as well considering how rich they are.

The best way to outsmart a burglar is to jump out your window. Unless your second story window is too high where you'd get hurt. Best way is to just get out of dodge if someone breaks in and your home. Probably dart out and travel at least 4-5 blocks I'd recommend and get your neighbor to call the police. If you manage to have your phone with you I still recommend staying safe with a neighbor until the police arrive. Most burglars don't get very far these days. Also don't ever risk your life over a valuable. Nothing is more important then your life. What you may think is valuable to you is far less valuable then saving yourself.

I would say that the best thing to do is to prevent a burglar from getting into your home. I have CCTV installed and fully automated locks. It's going to take a burglar with high tech knowledge to break into my house.

People just seem to lack street smarts, never announce the obvious, it was the same back in the old days and it is the same now. But now the internet just offers more danger than anything.

Seriously, cybercrime is getting out of hands lately. They keep getting more innovative ways to be very successful at their trade.
