After all, it's not always going to never happen to you.Whether the loss is property, memories, or life, having a home security system can prevent those losses entirely, or prevent them from being severe.

A burglar can take your stuff, but a fire will take everything
Significantly better than just an alarm you buy from the store. Like the Fire alarm, if carbon monoxide is detected in your home, the authorities are notified, bringing you help immediately.

Letting you know immediately that your home has been invaded. As well as scaring away any but the most determined of invaders.
Many peoples houses get broke into

When your alarm goes off, your home security company will call you, immediately, if there is no answer, or if you answer that someone has broken in, the alarm company will call the police for you.

Actually, most burglaries in the US occur in daytime, when the criminals don't know you if have a security system, and with a swift kick to the front door or through open or unlocked doors and windows. And, it happens all too fast foor law enforcement to stp them usually, since they're in and out in just seconds to a few minutes. Locked, sturdy doors, watchful neighbors, and a dog are better than any alarm against burglaries.
