How to make my mom's house feel more secure for her?

Hi All,

The other week my mom's car was broken into the same way her ex-boyfriend over ten years ago did. Camera footage in the complex wasn't good enough to catch his face, but it was done very aggressively, and nothing was taken. No other cars in the parking area were touched as well, and there were some nicer models there, so we're pretty sure it was him.

He lived out of state, but we're assuming he's moved back down. She's rightfully become extremely paranoid about him breaking into her house, or even going for her car again because the repair costs may get too expensive. Does anyone have recommendations on certain safety devices? I was thinking some sort of alarms for windows and slider doors, a Ring Doorbell, and definitely some sort of dash cam that can run even when the car is off, but really am feeling overwhelmed with options.

Also if there is any help on what to do about this? I'm hoping mainly the dash-cam might help to identify him to take to the police since we have nothing concrete, but I really am at a loss on what I can do.

I really just want her to be able to sleep at night and be able to go to work a bit more comfortably. Thank you for any help.
