you did your job. Get something (like what Tailgator mentioned to reinforce the door). This helps with time and noise even if they still get in.

You can also find door alarms that hang on the inside knob and make a high
pitched sound if moved. They are on the web (google for door knob alarm) and in some stores.

Someone may have lived in the unit before you and may have had cash or
drugs. Not saying that is the case but it happens.

Another idea is keep your den or kitchen light on at night and maybe play a small radio so there is the appearance that someone is up and alert. If you
keep the br door shut it shouldn't bother you much.

as all others stated, keep phone / mag lite / pistol handy and stay put if you can. If trouble comes to you and you have to use your firearm, it will be from a defensive point which is harder to fault you for in court if it gets that far.

Pay attention over the next few days for suspicious vehicles and people hanging around who don't live/belong there.
