this is a classic example of emotion clouding better judgement. A more rational approach would be to look at the data:
- In 2010, there were an estimated 2,159,878 burglaries [1]
- In 2013 there were 94 murders associated with burglary
This is a 0.00435% chance that you will be killed in the course of a burglary. I'm sure this number will go down dramatically as long as you don't grab a gun ;)
