We had that in our place in the Norcal.
After our son's HS graduation we went on a camping trip with the whole family who came to town for the graduation party. We were out of cell phone range in the Sierra's east of Nevada City for a week.
When we were returning, a call came in from the alarm service saying there was an attempted break in. When we got home there was a card from the police with a request that we call them. An officer came out and told us that a burglar tried to force open a window and the alarm went off and scared him away.
The officer said he walked around the house checking and looked in windows to see if there was any damage. We had a six foot mannequin dressed in black graduation robes for the party just inside the front door that the cop said he just about shot.
