In addition to what others have said and if your leaving it at home, I'd get a couple of motion activated lights. They don't have to be expensive. Amazon has some solar rechargeable lights that you can place anywhere.
2nd, get some kind of wifi motion sensor camera that can send pics/videos to your phone. There are several hunting trail cameras that can do the job but you have to look at battery life. Some of them can be a few weeks to a few months. Position them for the most visibility of your camera while being as covertly hidden as possible. We have a Ring doorbell that works great for guarding our front porch. They have also expanded their offerings to security cameras as well.
We get almost instantaneous response to our phone anytime the doorbell or motion is triggered. At least we might have a pretty decent pic/video of someone who is messing with our stuff in case something is stolen.
3rd, have good neighbors who will keep an eye on things.
4th, get a couple of signs to put around the house that the property is being monitored. You can get some fake but realistic security cameras to mount around the perimeter of the house if you don't want to spring for the real deal.
Bottom line is that a determined thief will take whatever they want, the goal is to deter the opportunistic thief who just wants to make a quick steal with minimal risk.
