Me: Thanks for waking me up so I can talk on the phone and now they know I'm in here awake. Now what do I do?
ADT: Just wait there. Help is on the way.

Probably in the meantime, the intruder has taken off running - and you can secure yourself in your locked bathroom with whatever means of self defense you have along with your phone. Remember, that 110db siren is still blaring both inside and outside the house.

From your picture on the forum, it looks like your boxer would protect you. Good looking dog!
