WiFi "detection" and its related devices are not a deterrent to criminals. Short of 24-hr armed guards, CCTV and hard-wired alarm systems connected to local police are a good starting point. A professionally trained guard dog is also a plus.
I'm curious...how did they disable the network? Did they use some sort of a wifi jammer? If people are using "hard wired alarm systems", what's to stop the crooks from just...cutting the wire? Wasn't that a common thing for them to do when burglaring "back in the day"? (I could be wrong...I get most of my knowledge of this sort of thing from reading mystery books and crime fiction)
