: Use trapdoors, paintings, or specialized redstone triggers to hide your most valuable rooms.
The modern is a digital ghost . It uses the very technology meant to secure the home to prove that the owner was everywhere at once—and therefore, nowhere specific.

But the power went out tonight at eight forty-five. The whole block. Generator kicks in only for the west wing, the security system, and the kitchen."

The suspect can spend the entire night walking the halls, touching banisters, turning on lights—creating a "clean path" of behavior that proves nothing happened elsewhere.
