Should people stop going away during the weekends in order to prevent robberies?

I think that people shouldn't stop going away to prevent thieves from robberies, because in this way we won't obtain anything. The burglars are going to enter in your house though you are there.
For this reason, I think it will be better that you decide other options, because the other days of the week you have to go to your job and you have to leave your home.
Another option that you can take is, that your letters are caught or your blinds are down by your neighbours. Then also you musn't tell everybody that you will travel. In addition, you can do other things, like put on the radio, switch on a light, install an alarm, etc. With these activities you can prevent thieves from entering and stealing in your house.
In conclusion, I think that staying at home doesn't make sense, because in this way you are limiting your life, and you are worrying without any reason.
