When our customer's as/400 was stolen the thieves did set off alarms.  It
was a smash and grab job, but they only took computers.  Cables were
simply cut (including power cords!).  Unfortunately, our customer hadn't
located their box in a very secure area of the building, so taking it was
relatively easy.  That has since been corrected.
