I had a friend that did pretty much that. He was in the vending
machine business and often had large sums of cash at his business over
the weekend. A pair on the phone lines was wired into the alarm
system. This scared off would be burglars a couple of times. There was
no real worries about them getting any money as it was all in a big
walkin safe but in the past they did a lot of damage breaking in the
place.


When I worked in a supermarket years ago, we were instructed to open
all of the register cash drawers at the end of the day -- they were
empty (the tills with cash were locked in the safe), but another store
in the chain had a breakin with thousands of dollars of damage to the
registers before the would-be theives found out they were empty.
