That cop was talking about catching burglars. I only care about deterring them or scaring them off in the middle of a break in.
We have the heavily advertised Broadview service, and yes, it did work as promised. Somebody forced a window, walked into the dining room, tripped the motion sensor and ran away at the sound of the alarms. Cops showed up 10 minutes later to an empty house. Which was fine by me. I'm just glad that nothing got stolen. Would it be better if the crook was caught? Probably, but that is a bonus.
