I have this same problem, so far I have come up with a couple options:
Install glass break sensor on your alarm system, near the door. Laminate the glass to prevent/slow down unlocking. Install double cylinder lock. Install security door stop. Install security door in front of regular door, with deadbolt/jamb armor. |

I have a double cylinder deadbolt with a removable latch. The inside latch looks like a normal deadbolt latch, but there is a key hole below the latch. When you want to remove the latch, you insert the normal key and turn, then you can pull the latch out and it becomes a normal double deadbolt.

The black Key is the normal door key, and the latch below it pulls out to leave a regular key hole like any double deadbolt. The upper key hole is just to release the latch key. The latch looks like a brass thumb latch, but has a key blade sticking out that gets inserted into the cylinder and locks in with the regular key. I only take the latch out when we go away for more than a day. |

The weak point in all these tricky tricks is the 2 screws that hold the lock together. Most thieves will bring (or use yours) a screwdriver and in 6 seconds the whole lock is off the door and the bolt can be manipulated by a 10 year old. Just saying.

Not to mention it would take much longer than 6 seconds to unscrew both of them, pull the lock out, stick a device in the hole (likely in the dark) and throw the deadbolt. Just, incredibly unlikely. Now if you’re security system is layered, they’d have to do all that while an alarm is going off and police are on their way. |

Now if you’re security system is layered, they’d have to do all that through a jagged hole in the glass without the ability to see in the hole while an alarm is going off and police are on their way. |

No one mentioned replace the door with one without glass in it.

I have Abloy deadbolts. ($$$) They are normal thumbturn on the inside, but can be optionally locked from the inside to become double cylinder locks. A little red flag pops out the top when that happens. The locks come with an emergency key you can put near the door that will open it from the inside only. There is also no possible way to non-destructively disassemble it when it's locked.
