Whereas Deucalion is a law-abiding citizen who would never think of something like breaking-and-entering? :-)

There was a recap somewhere where the recapper remarked that Derek's alarm only seemed to go off after somebody had already breached the loft anyway, and that the alarm, and the scene where Kali just casually kicked it right off the wall, were symbolic of Derek's entire life!

But to your point, if he was going to live in an abandoned building anyway, then why not fill the place with booby traps, hidden weapons, etc... Of course, Derek and his pack weren't exactly the brightest strategists around. Boyd's water-and-electricity trick had the obvious flaw of not working if somebody turned off the power (which was controlled from the basement, unreachable by anyone up in the loft during an attack). But I wrote that one off as Boyd being in the Air Force ROTC, and thus not being well-versed in urban ground combat tactics.
