From TMZ.com - Nicki Minaj heard the wake-up call loud and clear -- she's taking new precautions at home after crooks ransacked her place and jacked $200k worth of stuff.

Our sources say Nicki's pissed this happened, but she's learned a valuable lesson and will do everything she can to prevent a repeat. Read more.
