The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that protection comes from Allah, but we must also 'tie our camel' (take precautions). Reciting specific zikr when leaving home or before sleep acts as a spiritual lock for your belongings.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma’as-mihi shay’un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama’i wa huwas-sami’ul-‘alim.
In the name of Allah, with whose name nothing on earth or in the heaven can cause any harm, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
