A neighbor had a breakin last month and the burglars ran away when the alarm went off. Also, make sure you have good lighting outside the house; motion detectors are great. If you leave the house on vacation, stop the newspaper, put lights that turn on inside on random timer settings. In other words, make your house look lived in even if nobody is in.
