Not quite the same thing but everyone should invest in one of those $200-$300 720p security systems with 4 cameras and recorder.
You won't believe the nonsense that goes on around your home when you aren't around. Trespassing, package delivery theft, lost/stray animals, etc. and of course burglary.
I'm pretty sure you would be aware of package delivery theft and burglary without a $300 security system. And the other two categories are uninteresting at least.
I'd turn that around: if you live somewhere where there's a high chance of theft and burglary, invest in a security system.
But it is weird to advice peple to buy a system just to find out if their house was broken into.
