I've read several studies that an alarm is not a deterrent for someone who has they're mind made up that they're breaking in (as thebrad84 mentioned) but the PRESENCE of an alarm will deter all but the most determined criminals...

Yep, I completely forgot to mention that. My teacher (sorry I keep saying that, but i dont want you to think this is just coming from some college student "that doesn't know anything") said that if you have a friend, neighbor, or family member that has ADT or some other security system, to ask them to call their provider and send them another sticker or sign "because theirs was stolen or lost" and the company should send them one pretty quickly. Then just take that sign in put it up near your front door, and it will deter most burglars away. However, like I already said, if the burglar has been watching you and knows you aren't home at certain times during the day or on vacation, he's probably not going to be too worried about that alarm if he really wants something from your home.
