I don't know about that, GJ. I think they generally cut the phone line and then try to get in. If they hear the alarm siren they leave. The brand of alarm doesn't make much difference. I think I'd cut the net access too, were I a thief, because some systems and cameras work through the interwebs.

I have a big dog who barks first, then licks. It'll be up to me and my arsenal to bring the pain.
