Never show your cards and don't bluff...

Why do you have compromised phone lines on your security system? Don't know the details of your house but I'd make those phone lines invisible first. Maybe encased in rigid metal conduit that enters through the basement or other means that is not exposed and also not even visible from the exterior? How about a cellular backup? I've done security systems for LEO's that were always concerned about BG's coming after their families and can tell you there are many ways to make your system not only well secured from the planning BG but also keep the signs to let the less determined crooks know to stay away too.
 
I'm on a slab, the only way to secure the phone lines is through conduit and a lock box. It could be done... I probably should. I've thought about cell backup but I get discounted monitoring by doing everything myself. They don't take cell backup (or not DSC anyway)

You DO have a good point though. If I did have a crawl space where I could run the phone box into the crawl, I would. I wouldn't worry then. Even with a lock box and conduit, someone could circumvent by digging to get to bare wire. That may sound absurd but it would only take a couple of minutes. Maybe I over-think things. VERY few people would ever know to dig and find bare wire to cut.
