       ...you can't tell by where the alarm is coming from?!   

       Besides, burglar alarms are hooked up to police stations, which know precisely where the alarm is coming from.

       a bearing isn't a position .

       [wjt] is right, especially considering that even the bearing is often very unclear (maybe we have echoes, or something). [+]

       More importantly, people with alarms that go off every time someone coughs nearby will be vilified by the neighbourhood.

       You could get the buglar to yell the number as he/she is running away from said house...

       That is by no means a universal truth. Almost the opposite in many places, in fact.
