You probably won't find an Imbel reciever, at least not for a reasonable price. DSA makes a great reciever(I prefer them) and you will have to get the reciever through an FFL, everything else you can find online and ship to your home

I would repair and reinforce entry points, arm yourself, and at least let the authorities know someones been entering your home illegally. at least to cover your butt in case the suck hits the fan or he decides to build a bonfire in your basement when in gets cold outside
