My neighbor across the street got hit, mid afternoon full frame metal door, they popped the door with a bar like it was toothpicks, same thing, went right for the master bedroom, ripped a safe out of the floor, (fire safe) grabbed the jewelry left thru the back glass sliding door, best part , I was home and didn't see a thing, my dog usually growls if she hears something, nothing, cops say it nearly impossible to catch them they are so fast ! ever alarms are seldom a deterrent, they know they have a 5 minute window or so and they are gone in 2-3 minutes !

Only deterrent to break ins is a big ass dog or two. That's straight from a cops mouth. They'll usually knock first or scout the house. See or hear big dogs and move on to the next one.

Just like breaking into or stealing a car, people would prolly be shocked at how fast someone can get into your home, riffle thru stuff and be gone. And that's even with neighbours home.

Alarm Force or Rogers Home Security... Not a bad idea at all but what these systems really do is make YOU feel better. Sure, they may offer a little deterrent. But if someone wants to get in, they will.

For those really concerned, IMO the best thing is to try and cover all of your bases - 'multiple deterrents'. Good quality windows/doors, a decent security system, good lighting, good visibility in your front/back/side yards, secured gates, and prolly the most important, neighbour awareness. Talk to your neighbours. Get to know them and have a kind of neighbourhood watch going on.

Hmmmm, so instead of a siren on the alarm system, perhaps barking dogs on a loud speaker would be better?

If it's real enough sounding yeah.

I know I wouldn't take a chance if there sounded like a 100lb rottie waiting to chew my ass lol

Best deterrent : a foxbody. They'll take one look and say "Skip this place, he obviously has nothing of value left in his house."

For an off the shelf product, Mother's VLR is pretty good.
