There will always be smarter criminals, but how common are they? I'm guessing that your story is the exception and not the rule.
The most basic thing I tend to hear is "be sure to lock your car/home". It doesn't take much to defeat a lock, and yet one does it.

... 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 wonder how many Jane/Joe's are going to be hiring 24-hour armed guards, ...
Better something then nothing, especially when it is already there / no additional purchase?
