Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. I will call a few local
companies. It seems the man trying to get in used a chair to try and
get into a first floor backyard window. My tenant saw his face at the
window.

We are in the second floor apt. I assume that if the perimeter of the
house is protected someone can't get up to the second floor either. Do
you think a motion sensing alarm that lights the backyard would also
help. There are many stray cats though that might be back there.
Anyway, we have been there for 45+ years without incident. I guess
it's a whole new world now. A police officer is coming to visit soon
to access the situation.
