Bad idea.  You can get stickers--I've seen them--that indicate an alarm
system.  Trouble is, they're very identifiable, and any thief with a little
experience will recognize the sticker as belonging to a nonexistent alarm
system.  The ones I've seen are yellow lettering on a green background;
they say something about an electronic (or maybe automatic) alarm system.
I'm not a thief, and even I recognize that they're only a simple ruse.
Of course, if there are only stupid (or neophyte) thieves where you live,
it might work.
