While my husband and I were at church today someone broke into our house. Lucky for us my brother was home and he scared the guy away. He came in through the side door in the garage that had a much crappier lock on it than we thought and then came in through the door from the garage to the house which we left unlocked because we figured no one was getting into the garage. Both the side door and the house door now have new deadbolts and locks and we are keeping everything locked no matter what. Also have new window locks on top of the original window locks. Next step is an alarm, maybe. Do you use one?

Yea. We were robbed the first year in our house back in 92'. We installed a system and pay for 24/7 monitoring.

I have the only actual effective part of an alarm system. The sign and stickers. My house claims to be protected by ADT... but its not.

We have two noise makers that went after the guy and he didn't care. Considering getting one that people might actually be afraid of.
Ive heard of just getting the stickers of a house alarm but never heard it actually working.

Yes. Our front door was kicked in while I was out getting some lunch with my then two month old. I walked in the back door, laid my food on the kitchen cabinet so I could step back out and grab the baby when I looked up - the darkness wasn't right. The front door was open enough to shine light on the tile. The only thing missing was the DirecTV box. Police figured that they heard me unlocking the back door and took off. That was on a Friday, I had an alarm installed the following Monday.

It sounds like you just need a serious reevaluation of your entry points and solidify them as opposed to an alarm initially.
Always lock the interior garage door and add a new lock if needed. You have no idea how many ways there are to get in a garage.

Just a cheap set of detectors for glass breaking and door opening, but I have it hooked up to air horns from two old fire trucks.
It doesn't summon the police, but it does stun the burglars and alert the neighborhood. Considering the pain it creates, someone is bound to call the police to complain.

Yes, ADT. Ever since I got robbed in a blanket sweep of our quiet neighborhood. It felt good that our neighborhood watch (attentive neighbors not any kind of organized thing) had the police out there pretty quick but they still cleaned me out and being new to the neighborhood they didn't realize I had been hit until later that night when I called the police out to make a report. Even a quiet, low crime, area can get hit as they tend to run in packs and sweep neighborhoods nowadays. Kind of scary really.

The house is wired with alarms at the 3 entry points: front door, garage door, and sliding glass door. There's also a couple of the movement sensor alarms in the house that will activate if there's movement once the alarm is set. The alarm system does a *very* good job of beeping/chirping when any one of these doors is open. If we don't get to the alarm fast enough, it does a great job of making tons of noise (thankfully that's only happened once). We've also got 2 dogs that react to every freaking noise that involves a door.

Nope, and I have the worst dog alarm ever. Today we're in the basement, and my friend came by... I could hear her calling upstairs, and the stupid hound only woke up when the kids and I went upstairs to see my friend.
Guess I forgot to lock the door again. I have to stop doing that, especially considering how stupid the dog apparently is! Oh but he won't miss a bark when my Dad, who also lives here, gets home. Hears the car a block away and barks as soon as he walks up the path. 
Only good thing about our door locks is that one is an old-school one like these  and the other is the safety one like these

no, i have 3 retired neighbors and we live in a cove though...and they are ALWAYS home it seems like.
plus, I'm always home too, so my car is out front.
and if someone was to get in and I heard them, I'm about 25 foot from a room with 15+ guns in it, and if I'm downstairs we have a loaded 12 gauge and a loaded .38 special in my parents' room...
We have pretty observant neighbors though...they call us all the time telling us if someone was at our house in a car they didn't recognize or something (like if it was someone we had told how to get in to get something), just making sure we knew who they were...especially if we're out of town or something.
and we live about 2 minutes from 2 police stations, so they'd be screwed if someone called 911 on them.
