My most expensive single win was close to 300 on blackjack in one day of playing. I bought myself a bottle of Jack (somehow felt like it matches the theme), got drunk and eventually gambled away the rest of the money I've never bought anything big for myself from gambling. Investing is another thing. I bought a lot of stuff for BTC.
Perhaps your neighborhood can afford high-technology for security, but I think the burglar knew that OP was out of town for quite some time that's why the burglar decide to break into the house and stole his PS5 and other valuable items. I believe that our house will remain safe if there will be dogs living on it and the house won't have days that it's unattended so that the burglar won't have time breaking in.
In other words, the person who entered to rob his house may have been following him for a long time, and came to the point where the thief saw that he had not been able to go home for a long time, so he took the opportunity to enter it and that included the PS5 that he only used a few times, but you thought of a good suggestion that there should be a dog guard at home, I like what you said.
Dogs can be all sort of securities you needed, but that added security depends on how you teach/train them but for basics their presence in our home is already a threat to these robbers who may have targeted our house but they can't just make it happen as these dogs can be lethal too and their barks can be seen as alarm that an unauthorized persons are nearby.
