Usually the noise of an alarm system frightens off an intruder.
The alarm not only notifies the alarm company and subsequently, the police, but it also makes neighbors aware.

The real problem with alarm systems, is that by the time the security company calls the homeowner and can't contact them, they call the police.
By the time the police get there, the crooks are long gone.

No one should put complete faith in a security system.
