Some asshole broke into my house I’m rehabbing and got 7k+ worth of tools. Kicked in my back door and were there for at least 30 minutes. Came back the following night to get the rest

Very sorry to hear this!
My house is rather remote and I wonder if my time will come.
I hate the idea of needing a security system because of all the cost and opportunity for hacking/sharing of info.

Let's use the First Amendment to protect the Second so we can avoid using the Second to protect the First.

The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.
It's that simple.

Personally, I am not in the habit of leaving anything worth much on an unattended jobsite.
Getting things stolen is a warning sign that it is not 'safe' to leave stuff on the job when you are not around.
But you still did...

So lots of valid points, but at the end of the day let's not blame the victims.
I've seen people get told it's their fault their guns were stolen because they didn't have a safe, and if they did it was because they didn't have a top of the line safe.
But at the end of the day the OP had his shit locked up in a house he owned. He didn't leave it the tools on the lawn. If he locked them in a footlocker, I'm pretty sure they'd have still been stolen. You shouldn't have to have a AAA rated bank safe for your tools at your home renovation site.
The fault 100% is with the shitbags who probably need hundreds of dollars every day to get high enough to not go through withdrawal. They are opportunistic parasites who will try and steal everything all the time.
I was once painting my house in Ft. Lauderdale with a vintage 80s boombox on the front porch supplying the tunes. I was on a ladder on the side of the house. I saw a car slowing down on the street and I knew EXACTLY what was going on. I jumped off the ladder and intercepted "fat ass black bitch" half way up my lawn with a "Can I help you?" and she mumbo jumbo'd some shit asking about a person that NEVER lived in that house.
I pretended to walk back to my ladder and she pretended to walk back to the car and sure as shit when I doubled back she was half way up my front lawn again. So I literally have to bike lock my radio to the porch rail or I have to take it with me all around the house and risk dripping paint on it OR people will walk right up on my front yard and do a 4pm snatch and grab.
There is nothing a criminal won't do if they think they can get away with it.
So yeah, we can limit our exposure and we can accept a lot of extra work and expense to try and protect ourselves from these aholes, but at the end of the day, if we didn't live in a society that made criminal elements feel safe pulling the shit they do...it woudn't happen.
And we don't need to live in Saudi where they get there hands chopped off, there were plenty of places in 1970s US of A where if you got caught pulling this shit, you got your ass kicked hard. Then the cops often showed up and kicked your ass some more.
If it wasn't for a huge proliferation of CWPs in the last 20 years and the understanding that in most states homeowners can and will shoot you if you break into an occupied dwelling, things would be third world out of hand where if you went outside at night you'd EXPECT to get robbed.
