Of course you should be aware of the risk, but it's not normal to be paranoid about it.
I've always learned there are two types of burglars. There are those who specifically break in at places where they know something very valuable is, and they come exclusively for that. It doesn't matter how hard you make it for them, if they want to enter they'll enter anyway. And there are those who break in to the house that is the easiest to break in to and then see what they find. If you make it too difficult for them to break in they'll skip your house and move on to the next.
So the first thing you want to question yourself is do you have anything valuable in the house? Any expensive paintings, large amounts of money, jewelery, you name it. If so, you should apply extra security and constantly be aware of burglars. But if not, just put a few safety lockers on the doors and windows and maybe a security strip on the door and that should be enough.
