We have an alarm - linked to the cops so they should attend.

Linked directly to the Police? I didn't know that was possible - how does it work, does the system dial 999 or something?

we also have a German shepherd who would wag her tail a lot as she mutilated an intruder.

Burglars drugged a big dog our friends had. Police told them it's very common.

It has been said that the time you really need your dog (when away on holiday) it's in kennels or with you on holidays. Make your house look more risky than next door's, and they will be likely to be the losers. In a road of similar houses, similar theft-worthy goods lie. Ipso facto, you don't choose based on gain but on risk! A pit with spikes and electrically released trapdoors can offend...
