The criminal element are constanly looking for ways to make it easier for them to break into your house without having to force entry which only creates noise and increases their chances of being seen, heard, or caught. One technique that has been around for several years now, but yet is relatively unknown by most home owners is a technique known as "Lock Bumping" which can be seen on following Youtube video:
As was mentioned in this video, there are a number of free sites and videos on the Internet which teaches people how to both make and use a bump key.
One of the best ways to prevent your home from being "bumped" is to use a lock that can't be bumped and one of the best on the market is called "The Ultimate Lock" which can be located at:

Although you may pay a premium for this lock, it does offer several other advantages (other than preventing bumping) that no other lock on the market that I know of can offer. As always, remember that this lock is only as good as the door that it is installed; always ensure that the door is solid core.
