A mailing list I'm on (and about 3 months behind on reading) was "just" talking about alarms.
2 quotes:
Back in the mid-eighties, before I left Philly, there was an article in the local weekly about real criminals, including from those in jail. One question they asked those convicted of burglary and theft was what would make them decide not to go into a place. Less than 20% (maybe under 10%, I don't remember) said a burglar alarm system.
60% said a dog of any size whatsoever.
-- And --
My personal favorite is that alarm system hooked up to the recording of a large dog barking...
