Yes, there are momentary contact switches that can be installed against the underside of the 'star'. These work much like a door switch... When the star is pulled from its socket, the existing alarm system will think that a door is opened and trigger the alarm.
You can find these switches at most all electronics places that have alarms, and can be installed yourself in minutes.
Hope this helps, and I hope you find the kids. Nothing upsets me more than children or adults that have no respect for other's property.
Good Luck,
