Home security

I have a burglar alarm but have never used it since moving here
Maybe I'm lucky but I have no home security. When my lock failed in the winter I had to leave the house unlocked several times and it didn't bother me.
Same with the car, often forget to lock it but nothing has ever happened.
I must be trusting my luck but I have very close neighbours and we watch out for each other.
It's funny but when I moved here people warned me that it was a high crime area- nothing could be further from the truth I have never felt safer living anywhere in my life.
The only person I know who has been burgled is the one with the fancy security system. I think it sends a message that they had things worth stealing maybe?

We have security lights and cameras, front and back.

My husband thinks we should have some form of security shutters (either external or internal) on the downstairs windows due to the increase in break ins in our area.
We do have an alarm system but as we don't have many neighbour's that close to us that may not be a prevention.
Has anyone else had any form of extra security fitted downstairs?
