I'll see your big ass dog, and raise you a pulp fiction gimp. defense and justice in one leather wrapped "package" if you're truly WAAAAY out in the boonies, even though it'll cost you a couple bucks, get sensors for all the windows and doors (and garage doors). the idea of having it call a central number (google voice specifically, a similar service used to be called grand central before it was sold to google) that will ring ALL phones is a good one. but from what i hear, the best thing to do to be made "whole" again after a theft is to go through your house with a camcorder (or may gopro or contourHD lol) and document what you have, and where. keep receipts for everything that is likely to get stolen. if you're really a nutcase, you can generate a spreadsheet of what you have, price info, and scan of the receipt tied together. if you have a home office that you're writing off, that type of documentation system should be relatively painless to incorporate. well, unless you enjoy a painful IRS audit. my puppy does seem to keep people away from the house though lol (especially lol if you've met my dog).
