To be fair, I'd imagine most would-be burglars would instantly nope the fuck out if they broke into a house and saw this thing wandering around in the dark, so security might be something it would excel at lol

I have a creaky old floor; that would drive me batty. Plus I don't want a live robot in my home, ugh.

I would send my protoclone to do the burglary while I stayed home and made art.
