Definition
防盗 (fáng dào) specifically means to guard against or prevent theft (偷盗). It differs from the general 防 (to prevent) and 防范 (to take precautions) in that it is only used in the context of theft or burglary, and very commonly appears as an adjective-like modifier in compounds such as 防盗门 (security door) and 防盗系统 (anti-theft system).
