I only have one lock for my apartment and I've come in the morning to find my husband has left the keys in the front door, all night, inviting anyone in---so even the best lock doesn't work in that case. HA.

You should invest on one of those $7, "sliding lock" that can only be open/lock from inside.
I have a neighbor who does that occasionally. I take them in and email her.

Locks only slow down a thief.
Youtube the locklawyer for the curious.
A good lock backed up by a Ring System that records as well as sending you live
stream or a paid for Home Security System is an additional defense.
Having a one ton safe in your house ( sarcasm ) keeps your valuables in your home.
Keeping your valuables in hidden spots scattered across the home helps.
Your objective is to slow down a thief to the point he gives up and leaves since
he has little time.
There are so many ways to slow a thief down but never the perfect deterrent exists.
The best thief thwarting defense since I can remember ?
A LOUD BARKING DOG.
Thieves will think twice of breaking into an apartment when surprised by a loud and very noisy dog !
Plus they will think twice of being mauled to death.

Or just have insurance. They take my stuff, I get new stuff. They come in while I’m home, I call a clean up crew.
