Does anyone in these areas use some sort of alarm monitoring system such as ADT or Alert Alarm and if so, how effective are these systems in deterring and/or preventing these kind of burglaries?
If you do use ADT or some other alarm company, don't "advertise" it with one of their little signs.
Some of the scum that are breaking into homes know how a particular system works and how to get around it. Such as, "Oh look there's a ADT system, I know how to get around it". These guys might have even worked for them in the past. If you have an alarm system, better to keep them guessing.
