I read this last night and was thinking the same thing. I doubt most security systems would really stop a professional criminal.
Seems like something missing from the story. Most, if not all, home security systems I've seen, if activated correctly, will sound off immediately when a door or window is opened. Of course they let you by-pass zones if you want to sleep with a window open, which kind of compromises the whole idea.
My guess is that the system was not armed. I would venture that a sizable percentage of homeowners with security systems only arm them when they leave the house. This is only my gut (and a sizable one it is) instinct as I have no statistical evidence to back up the assumption.
