How accessible is your balcony? Could it have been left there, or did it have to be thrown there?
That is an item often used for breaking glass and for self defense. If someone left that on your balcony, they were likely in the act of breaking in.
I would clearly mark your balcony with alarm stickers, motion sensing alarms and lock your front door with a dead bolt (the type with the key on the inside as well). If they are going to break in, make them climb the balcony to leave.
There is a good chance you were there when it took place and you scared off the crook.
