That's quite dystopian. If your neighbours have your phone number they will probably call you. Maybe you're not friendly with your neighbours, I know loads in my street and we all look out for each other. That includes the people we don't really know, but we can't call them to say "your alarm's going off, there's no sign of a break in but we are waiting outside with pitchforks".

Alarms are a complete waste of time, spend money on physical security instead. If your physical security is good enough a burglar will move onto an easier target.
Everyone ignores alarms because they go off all the time for no reason...
