An alarm sign works much better as a deterrent, without having to advertise there's likely a stash of arms within.

No thanks,

Not here it doesn't. Having an alarm doesn't work either. Burglars recognize that there is a delay between the monitoring station, calling the police, and their response. They're usually in and out with your valuables before the police arrive.
Best deterrent is a dog in my experience.

I agree with , a dog is the best deterrence. Doesn't have to be a nasty one either. The noise of a barking dog is enough to send the guy to someone elses house. That said, I DO like the welcome mat, and.... my wife would make me put it on the back deck too!

Ya, right.

The new scam nowadays, if for the BG to go up to your alarm sign, get the name and number of the company and then pretend to be a company rep when you open the door.

Alarm signs are worthless, even though we have one...albeit with a functioning alarm system.

My brother has it as a sign similar to an alarm company sign. That said the better solution is not advertising you have something worth coming in for, a couple dogs and window blinds.

And a neighbor like Joe Horn wouldn't hurt either.

I think I will just get a "warning land mines" sign for the front yard....that should do it.

A diligent homeowner doesn't open the door for strangers. lol

As for signs not a deterrent, back in the day, one neighborhood stood multiple burglaries in the daytime. Nearly every house had been in a two year period, with the exception of those who visibly displayed alarm systems were installed.

Something like 3 homes hadn't been hit out of 90 or so in the community
