I'd give ADT a call, they seem to have a decent rep (although I have no personal experience with them)
As far as defending herself, pepper spray is legal in Washington, it's relatively inexpensive also. I'd also suggest that she does her shopping with a couple of neighbors, people traveling in groups tend to be less of a target.
I also would offer to take her shopping if shopping w/ friends/neighbors isn't a realistic option.
I'm sorry this happened to your mother, it also enrages me that people would do something like this to anybody.
