Window AC units can be secured. There's adjustable braces that or even just a piece of wood works fine if you can wedge it just right.

Even the the visual of some kind of obstacle will serve as a deterrent. That and shit like making it harder to know when nobody's home. Don't have windows you that someone can easily look into and leave a light or 2 on if you don't have the option to put it on a timer.

The "home invasion" break in that's attempted when the person knows people are home can happen but it's nowhere near as common as burglars who are looking for people that aren't home.

One other one that might be limiting based on room alignment, but the windows that are easily viewable by neighbors are probably the lower risk ones.

Also having alarm sensors / stickers on an apartment seems to help too. I know people who's alarm stopped working years ago but they still have all those window sensors and shit and it's a pretty good deterrent.
