Glad you came out of it O.K.

I wouldn't expect those particular burglars back anytime soon. They were smart enough to run when they tripped the alarm. That makes them smart enough to realize that
a) Both you and your neighbors are now in a state of raised awareness,
b) They'll probably just trip the alarm next time, too.

It doesn't exactly require above average intelligence to reach these conclusions. Most likely they're seeking easier targets elsewhere.


That being said, upgrading house security is always a good idea. There are other burglars out there. Or they may come back in 6 months, testing a different point of entry and hoping you didn't upgrade your system.
