The Irrelevant Burglar Alarm

This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.

Hello. Do you have an alarm system? How much do you pay a month to have it monitored? $40/month?
The truth is, paying for a monitoring system is irrelevant.
Why? Because no matter how quickly a burglar alarm is set off, it's going to take on average 8 minutes for a police car to arrive at your place. That gives the burglar plenty of time to get away, with or without anything.
To those of you who say the alarm scares the burglar away, my response is the window stickers do the same thing. If you have your stickers at the main entry points a burglar would use, that in itself is a strong deterrent. The burglar doesn't know if your monitoring system is on or off. If the burglar decides to break in after seeing the stickers, the burglar doesn't care if your monitoring system is on.
Save some money. Turn your irrelevant monitoring system off.
