I hope your master unit is installed in a safe (i.e. more inaccessible)
location.  We just had to replace a Lynx panel (installed by ADT) that
was ripped off the wall in the kitchen by what looks to be three very
enterprising hoodlums (the Police figure two guys and a gal where
involved).  They also stole the customer's widescreen TV, a whole lot of
"pocket sized" electronic gear and enough make-up to last most women a
life-time (she only went for the expensive stuff so they know there was
a gal involved).  The new panel is a Vista 128 with remote keypad.  The
new common control is in a very tough spot to get to (in the 20 second
entry delay).  There's also cellular backup to the land lines and a very
loud outdoor siren.  It's still kinda like closing the barn door after
the horse, the chickens and the four cows got out.
