Unfortunately it has come to that.

On coming home it's a good routine procedure to check that everything outside is as you left it (doors, windows, screens, etc.).
Do not enter the house if the watchman or the dog(s) are not there.
Do a tour of the house and check possible hiding places.
(I know of several cases where the attackers were hiding in the house for quite some time before they struck.)

Attacks can take place any hour of the day.
Normally the criminals will have checked out your place and your habits for some days and know when you are most vulnerable.

(BTW, at what time was lemunchs house attacked?)
