I just don't shovel the snow in front of the door. It's like 3-4 feet high.

I dont live in a very good neighborhood but I keep my cars garaged, all with alarms. I did have one person try to get into my daily driver when I first moved here, but I caught him. Even with my Colt Anaconda .44 mag under my bed I got the guy with a baseball bat. No cops, just a very good beating and smashed his hand pretty good as well. Draged him up the street to the nearest corner and left him there.

Step #1. I live in a good neighborhood.

Step #2. "Firearms"!

Step #3. Having a police car in the driveway makes for a good crime deterrent!
