That sucks but we live in Cancun Quintana Roo and while I know that burglaries happen, we take steps to make it more difficult even though our area is mostly peaceful and quiet of incidences like that.
You say sliding glass door.. the worst.
Did you have bars and/or a locking gate on it or just the glass? Anyone can get into an arcadia door in 10 seconds.
Did you have any kind of security system on the house?
You can go to Wal-Mart or Radio Shack and buy a little expandable security system that you can install yourself.
One thing I learned is that locks are designed to keep honest people honest. If someone really wants what you have, they will get it.
With that said .. most of the people I know down here aren't too motivated to go out of their way for something special. What I mean is that the little red flashing light on my dash, the locked gate and window bars and the sight of security equipment is a great deterrant. Let someone else be an easier target with less work and trouble .. down the road.
Don't tell me that you rent and that's why the bars aren't on the door .. Our neighbor just had a new door gate and 2 large window gates made and installed for $1,700 MX. I'd think that's cheaper than what you just went through AND you could make some deal to leave them OR take them with you and re-use them or the materials somewhere, sometime.
