OK so I've only just asked about digital cameras but I urgently need advice from anyone with knowledge of house security/burglar alarm systems.

My poor old Mum has now been burgled twice in less than a month by three thieving scumbags who broke into a window at the back of her bungalow. Beware if you have an elderly relative living in the North Bucks area as this gang are going round breaking into bungalows while people are relaxing in the evening. They didn't get much on either occassion but what really pi**es me off is that they are prepared to break in and intimidate old people, some of whom are far more frail than my Mum for the sake of a bit of loose change. It changes their lives for ever and I'm sure that it will eventually kill some poor old dear who is confronted by three thugs ransacking their home.

Back on topic, I've put a 500 watt security light at the back of the bungalow but want to put a sensibly priced alarm system inside, the rooms that were broken into are rarely used so could be alarmed full time in a "zone ?" while she can use the rest of the bungalow as usual.

I'm sure there is someone out there with some valuable advice on the subject.

Oh and I'm offering £1,000 cash reward to anyone who can give me information that will lead to ME being able to find these "people", not interested in the old "information leading to arrest or conviction blah blah blah".
