I have an alarm system but Brandi has free run of the house. The good thing about Brandi is that she will not let strangers anywhere near her. It takes the police about 3-5 minutes to get to my house so there's a good chance the thief may not be able to steal her simply because they would have to chase her and with the alarming going off, chances are they won't waste the time. However for those that have friendly dogs and it takes the police around 5 minutes to get to your house, there's a good chance they can still be taken.
An alarm system will not stop a burglar from stealing your dog. The further you are away from the police, the longer it takes for them to arrive. Unfortunately there are no guarantees in life, but with that being said you should still try to enjoy your life to its fullest. The most any of us can do is try to keep life's dangers to a minimum.
If it helps alleviate some of your fears, you can also get a motion sensor video cameras with your alarm system, you may be able to identify the burglar in the event something does happen. It's so sad that we have to go through all of this to protect ourselfs and our loved ones.
I can't imagine living without an alarm system. I was at home one time when someone broke in. It's not a good feeling. Ever since then, I need that early warning so that I can better able to respond.
