I wish we all had security systems. I have one installed at my home. I'm convinced that the VCCD could negotiate volume based contracts for us and get security systems for thousands of homes that want them at a very reasonable cost. Even a stupid burglar is not stupid enough to break into a home that is going to set off an alarm that draws the neighborhoods attention to the home, and immediately dispatch the police. They see the sign and move on to somewhere else. Most of the security system firms now use wireless systems, so no cutting the wires on the outside to disable the alarm.
