Having lived in NYC before coming to the Boston area, I can tell many true
horror stories of criminals who got "pissed off" for one reason or another
finding the home of the original victim and burning it down &/or killing
someone there.

Unless you are going to use a system that will 100% of the time KILL a 
burgler, don't bother just pissing him off :-)

Of couse, make sure you never accidentally trigger it yourself...
