Minimalism is the best way to prevent potential thieves from getting tempted to grab which does not belong to them. If anyone who breaks in is not able to see anything of value where you live, he will be very quick to leave. He wil think it's just a waste of his precious time as if he is getting paid by the hour. Imagine you only own a bed and few clothes, what can they steal from you? If you are a hoarder, it maybe difficult for the thief to discern which among your things have value so he ends up taking everything.
