You're right - it did make me feel good. I tried a motion sensor, but I never really had much luck with that. (I have to admit I didn't spend a lot of time on it though.) I thought I'd go for a DS10a at one point, but soon got to thinking it may be overkill.
Speaking of overkill (I'm notorious for this), if my house alarm is triggered, I have HS announce over the house speakers any movement it detects. "I'm detecting motion in the kitchen," etc. (I guess the idea was that it might make them nervous and leave.) Now for the really-overkill part: I've always wanted to connect a low-power FM transmitter that would broadcast that message over an FM channel. That way I could tell the police to tune into 89.5 when they're outside the house and they could get real time updates of where the criminal is in my home. Haven't done that one either... but maybe someday.
I've only lived in this neighborhood for 18 months and haven't experienced any other issues, but every neighbor up and down our street has security company signs in their yard, so I guess it made me a little nervous.
