But if they know what they are doing, will not stop them. I had an alarm and these guys first cut my phone line from the outside the house so the alarm can't call the station. Then broke in through a basement window, went straight to the utility room, pry open the alarm panel and pulled off all the wires which killed the siren. This happened in the middle of the day they must have watched us leave the house.

The best thing is to have hidden compartments or drawers, built into the bottom of a cabinet or vent. It's not visable and only you know about it. That what I have now.
