This is exactly why I put a different security alarm system sign in my yard than the one that's actually installed. Unfortunately, there are probably many homeowners who put SimpliSafe stickers in their windows letting anyone passing by know their home is vulnerable to this attack.

When I was a kid, my dad didn't want to spend money on an alarm system so he just added that magnetic glass breakage tape around all the first floor windows and installed a metal panel with a locking cover plate and a series of blinking LEDS on the front and back doors. It looked really authentic, and it seemed to work - other houses in our neighborhood got burgled once in a while, but ours was the only one with those scary red lights blinking back and forth on all the doors.

It's not like you couldn't just wardrive for this.
