I would regard house insurance as a necessity rather than a luxury. Luxuries to me would be membership of swinging clubs and cigarettes. Each to their own.
Get a dog bowl......I once got burgled some time ago now....and Police that came suggested I get a dog Bowl and place it close to back door. They told me that anyone that saw it would presume I had a dog...and 90% will move on to another house !! He said the thought of a big fierce dog being inside, is a better deterrent that an alarm !!!

Good advice but I have 2 dogs and signs accordingly at the front and rear of the house, they would however only be capable of licking the intruders to death after waiting a suitable time for them to throw a ball for them
What annoys me the most is that I am just one of thousands of victims a day in the UK who are then further attacked, firstly by home office directives "advising" Magistrates and Judges to keep as many criminals as possible out of Jail because of overcrowding and therefore only locking up those that they have to, and secondly by blood sucking Defence Lawyers and Barristers who advise their clients (repeat offending scum) .... "your case is hopeless and you will be found guilty the evidence against you is overwhelming but do not plead guilty because on the day of the trial you will be offered a plea bargain/lesser charge in order to save the case going to trial"
A defence lawyer or barrister should be making sure his client gets a fair trial not showing them loopholes or how to get away with crimes they have committed, albeit most repeat offenders are now well aware of this tactic.
I even got a call from the Police saying that the defence lawyers wanted to come into my home and take paint scrapings from each room in an attempt to make the jury believe that the hammer they had been found with in the car was mine not the defendents, kinda silly really because would that not be stolen goods if the paint marks showed they had a hammer that belonged to me
but I suppose they were going along the line of burglary v aggravated burglary the latter being when the criminals take weapons with them into the burglary, standard burglary carries a far less maximum sentence than the 14 years for aggravated burglary.
I of course told them to piss off my home had already been invaded once and they were not going to invade it again.

Which is probably why the prosecution offered no evidence on the burglary charges; the perpetrators human rights to a fair trial were being compromised...

So I let a bunch of people come into my home and scrape paint off all the walls in the rooms and for what, if paint samples matched those found on the hammers they had in their possession it implies guilt, if no paint samples matched it simply means they only hit the TV's and not the walls, the Barrister for the prosecution said it would have no baring on the prosecution case if I refused them entry, do you honestly believe that the CPS went for a plea bargain because of my refusal and thought "5 eye witnesses, forensic evidence, fingerprints, possession of the items used found in their car 100 miles away from the crime scene, video evidence of their vehicle in the Stoke area after they claimed never to have been in SoT and other evidence was meaningless, do you really think the whole burglary case rested on my decision not to allow people to invade my privacy on behalf of the accused ? if it was that relevant they would have sought a court order to obtain that evidence.
Line of least resistance always....
The jails are full of scroats to bursting point, so any excuse to move on which doesn't affect their pay, what the hell.
Just the way it is Jed. If you got loads of dosh, bring a private prosecution by all means but you know how that will end up already
Tony Martin had the best idea 10 years ago but even he has had to concede defeat in a recent re-run of events.
You can't beat the system. The lunatics have been handed the keys to Britain. Will the last person to leave turn the lights out please (if anyone can still afford 6d for the meter, that is).

Isn't it a damning part of society today that one has to rely on paying one set of thieves to offer 'protection' against another set.
There are 2 reasons why I have never had home insurance, 3 if you count it is not a requirement in law like other insurances.
I have been living away from my family ie in my own home for 43 years and this would be my first instance to make a claim the cost of premiums therefore would outweigh the payment I would get in this instance.
I am the kind of person that even when entitled to make a claim, would never get round to doing it, it is just my make-up, my own fault and kinda silly but I know me and it is simply a fact, I once got scalded by a cup of tea handed down to me at the drive through in McDondalds, the top was not on properly so "hot contents" warnings on the cap were irrelevant, my hand blistered instantly, the tea stained my 10 day old upholstery on my new car, burnt my legs when it splashed and I had to receive minor treatment inside the McDonalds café (sorry refuse to call them restaurants).
I could have claimed, McDonalds have a track record for settling out of court and at the time had recently paid a woman in the US $500,000 then added the "hot contents" warning when she scalded her lips drinking the tea.
I simply never got round to putting in a claim.

You are then one of the few of us who accept that accidents happen. Not many of us left but nice to see.
There are quite a few things you can do to beef up your security - the best one however is having decent neighbours who you trust and who trust you. The sort of people who when they see your motion activated lights come on have a quick nosy to see what is going on and who don't just swear if they hear your burglar alarm going off.
A few years back I saw this book in a bargain bin in a bookshop, had a quick skim and was well worth the few quid I paid out:
Some very good advice - esp about cultivating a good neighbourhood. I kind of went the other way around. When I lived in a rather rough area of an inner city I gave the impression to all of the local scrotes that I was a copper - I wasn't, but good posture, looking hard and being built like a brick outhouse helped a bit. Having a public chat with the local coppers made an impression too. Sometimes a bit of headology is very useful.
You might not think so, reading this thread but my security is not bad and getting better.
We have outside cameras recording what is going on and it is this footage that meant we were able to give the Police the Vehicle used and registration number which meant that they were picked up less than an hour later heading back home on the M6.
We have erected 8ft high fencing all round the rear of our garden and there is security lighting everywhere which makes it like daylight when dark.
We have internal bolts and deadlocks and chain locks on all our doors.
Our neighbours are good and did give statements to the Police and turned up in court to give evidence which as it turned out was not needed, my neighbours are Polish and needed an interpreter at the court, they could have just kept quiet if they had wanted to.
We have 2 dogs whilst not being of the "deterrent" type do bark when anyone approaches the back garden.
We have lighting on time switches which turn on and off at various intervals in different rooms and we have burglar alarms fitted for when we are not home.
The problem is that on this occasion the criminals came through the front door when I opened it, they were tooled up and making a quick "smash and grab" raid feeling confident that they would be in and out before Police could arrive and they got that part right but did not bargain for the cameras the recording parts of which are concealed.

So you regard house insurance as a luxury yet you have outside cameras, lights on timers and have erected an 8 foot high fence all around the rear of your house

Happy Birthday - now spare a thought for me, I am organising a birthday party for Sasha as I do every year, she starts reminding me about it on the 1st March every year, (29th February in Leap Years)
The reason she starts then is because that is the day after my own birthday party.
So far I have organised
2 venues (a restaurant and a swingers club) for the party
2 limousines
2 Hostesses from the local lap dancing club to hand out the champagne
Ordered a dance pole for home
Taken delivery of the laser lighting for the dance room
Ordered her various outfits, (cocktail dress, lingerie evening gown and 2 pair of shoes)
taken delivery the engraved gifts which are prizes for the guests (30 of them)
taken delivery of 37 items large and small to decorate the venue (including 100 balloons and helium)
had the invites printed and given many out with many more to go
Confirmed the first 42 guests (expecting that number to triple
Organised the champagne for the guests arrival
Booked a professional DJ
Ordered the evening gowns and shoes for the hostesses (4 pairs/dresses)
Put the adverts out on 5 swingers sites
Still to start
Prepare the garden for a sunny afternoon option of a drink in the sun
Decorate the dance room
have a nervous breakdown
Still I should have it all ready, after all the party isn't happening until the end of July
Just as well your income doesn't run to luxuries!
