Ha-ha!! I don't have any type of statistics for you - sorry!
Herv, I feel the home security system is going to be another one of those things that falls into the "personal preference" category - if it makes you feel better and sleep well at night, then it's probably a worthwhile thing for you to do. Everyone will obviously have their own perspective on and approach to home security.
Personally, the crime rate in TV is lower than in other areas of FL and other parts of the country as well. We just do the normal stuff - deadbolts on the doors, turn off the garage door receiver when we're away (so the remote chance of a stray signal opening the door is eliminated), stop stick in the sliding door track, and make sure all the windows are locked. That's about it for us!
