you can set it up to arm only the door sensors, leave the motion sensors off so if someone walks in, blamo.

The biggest issue is getting used to remembering it's on when you leave, it's a big, big mess when you do that. you get used to it tho.
I 9 years has is ever done anything to stop a robbery or break in?

I have had one for 10 years and never had to use it. I think in certain high crime areas it "might" stop a robbery or break in but other places its a waste of money and basically you gave into the fear they sell.

My house in NC has a security system, the guy below me has one too, I hear it beeping when he leaves the house in the summer. This is a place where you can leave your house unlocked and your keys in your car at night with the windows opened.

Its gotta be the lowest crime area I have ever seen yet people have alarm systems. They bought into the fear.
