In general the thieves want an easy take, they want to reduce the risk of being caught to a minimum. So no or little noise and as few minutes as possible.
So anything you can do to get them to steal some one elses easier to take S3 is worth while. As you can see CCTV is of little use as they wear generic black clothes with scarves or balaclavas.
But house alarm, with blinking light in a prominent place, locked bollard on the drive, bright security lights attract attention, a secure bolted dead locked front door, a disclock or other device, last thing they want is to spend half an hour sawing a device off.
But there's always exceptions, if they want it and their prepared to break the door down and use aggravated vehicle taking then they'll get it. But with a house alarm blaring (giving you time to phone 999) or one connected to the old bill they are unlikely to want to hang around.
You can never be certain but you can make life difficult.
