IMO The best $25 you can spend on a security system and if you have cam its free!

Ever wonder if anyone has been in your place when you were gone and you dont have $500 or the basic security system? I think we have all left the house at some point to come back later wondering if you left that window unlocked or not or that back door unlocked or whatever. Well here (2nd link below) you can set up motion detection with your web cam(super cheap these days). This works well and will take care of the job and this program is free to use. Its very basic and simple but it will get the job done. I hope this will help some of you sleep better at night wondering if someone had been in your place when you were gone. I will take + rep or cash in small bills for the thank you. :-P

Here is a web cam you can snag for about $25 and they do have them cheaper
