Damned bummer dude. I hate thieves. Been there before and it's one of the most sickening feelings there is.

It's a little late and not trying to say anything is your fault in the least, but I've gained a lot of piece of mind with the security system I have in my home and garage. I travel A LOT and am single so there's nobody home much of the time. If you are interested send me a PM and I can hook you up with the company that did mine. Cellular based with battery backup, all wireless installation and some added features of home automation. It nearly pays for itself in what I save in my energy bills (from the home automation part) and the homeowners insurance discount. It's all 100% controllable from the internet or smart phone too. I used to have ADT but they are a total rip off in comparison to the company I have now. IMO worth every penny.

I know it sounds like I work for them or get a kickback or some crap but I don't and I'm just a very satisfied customer.
