So the other night I come out to the truck and find that it's been rummaged through. I did recently install some cameras but they weren't set to record because I couldn't decide on where to store the 1 GB+ of data I was expecting to hold. I was upset, but nothing was taken or damage so it's all good, didn't call the cops and file an official report since I already cleaned up. I did talk to my deputy buddy and he said he'll talk to his buddies about stepping up patrol in the area. That said, as soon as I cleaned up the truck I redirected my cameras to save to my home server. Well this morning I catch this shit.
As much as I would like to, I cannot: 1. Shoot them. 2. Camp out in the bushes. 3. Shoot them. I have "Private Property, No Trespassing" signs around the property, but they just walk by them. I was thinking about making up a couple of these. What say the hive? Any other ideas?

A fence. The property isn't really setup for a fence, it backs up to a nature preserve and includes half a pond. The property also includes the land about 10 ft past the tree line. That's my truck in the center.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Sort of, if you take a look at the picture above. That's the vantage point from a small trail coming out of the woods. The trail goes about a mile to an apartment complex and major street. The obvious route is taking a left and walking through my neighbor's yard. Now they're coming all the way around through mine. |

You can chase them down the street with a baseball bat with your ar slung over your back just in case
When you catch them, you know the drill |

This is the other side of the tree line, facing East. I wish I could do booby traps.

You might also want to think about a sign declaring that a dog is invisibly / radio fenced. It doesn't really matter if you have a dog. The prospect of a nominally restrained guard dog adds deterrence. However, my general feeling is that signs are of limited value. A complete perimeter fence with driveway gates would be preferable. If that's not an option make the path through your property inconvenient e.g fence the edge of the property from street to lake to limit the convenience of passing through. Be sure to point cameras at any pedestrian channel that you create. |

They are all good kids trying to turn their lives around...
Are they walking through your property like a short cut from school? Personally, since you've already had your truck rummaged through, I would hesitate to escalate to Defcon 3 and catch them in the act with an ad attitude. If your truck hadn't been screwed with, I would get my cameras running and wait.... with a bad attitude. |

The back of my yard is wooded and kids cut through my yard all the time. I've put up No Trespassing signs...only to find them torn down the next day or so.
I sure wish I could hang fish hooks or rig some flashbangs

A huge chain and a giant stainless steel water bowl beat to hell. Run the chain around the corner so that it looks like a massive dog is just out of sight. An observant perp will see it and think twice about coming.
The Ring security door bell is also nice. I have one at my house, and get notice on my phone that someone is in my driveway. I can interact with them via voice too. I just sign on and ask the person "you looking for something?" I even answer the door for UPS and direct them to drop boxes in the back of the house on the porch as I am "stuck in a cast and can't come out right now." |

This should serve as a warning to all of those who will buy a house in the future, make sure you can fence your property if it doesn't have one to prevent something like this. I wouldn't have bought or rented a house set-up like that. When we were looking for a house a few years ago, security was my top priority, that yard would have been a deal killer for me. Hope you can find a reasonable solution that doesn't cost too much. Nice camera picture quality!

I prefer subtly at first, a sign which reads:
NOTHING ON THIS PROPERTY IS WORTH YOUR LIFE. Posted in an area where you know the trespassers will see it. |
