My turn on glass break sensors after seeing too many smashed windows

I always passed on glass break sensors to keep quotes low. After doing follow-ups where windows were the weak spot, I now add them by default. Do you include them in your basic package?

Disagree with adding them by default. I focus on the main entry points like doors first. Glass breaks are often extra cost for little gain in most homes. Every system should fit the real risk, not just cover everything. I've seen too many sensors go unused when money could be better spent on better door locks or cameras.

Remember when my neighbor's cat set off the glass sensor, @shah.faith?

Wait, but what about houses with big sliding doors or lots of ground-floor windows? That seems like a pretty big risk to just skip over, especially in some neighborhoods.
