To defend alarm systems a bit here, not all burglars are that sophisticated (so it's not trivial). As a teenager I came home from school after a break-in and the novice burglars had scurried off on account of the alarm system and had barely taken a thing.
- tptacek 12y agoSure, but then the idea is, to deter complete novices, all you need is prominently placed signs and decals.

An actual working alarm helps, but I suspect the signs do most of the legwork. Fortunately the thieves got caught and were forced to pay compensation years later.
