Myth #7: We already have a security guard: Compare the one-time cost of an alarm system with the salary of a security guard and the fact that the alarm system is always vigilant whereas the guard may be sleeping, quietly over-powered by the thieves, or perhaps be in partnership with the thieves. Even having the alarm system in addition to the security guard will enhance the protection.
