Had two electric fence transformers and batteries nicked couple of weeks ago .
Then used a security box with transformer and battery inside box electrified from within .
Last night they smashed hinges on box had that away as well.
Any ideas how to stop this .?

Could cast a concrete block with a cutout for the fencer with a heavy cast lid. Could move it with the forklift, and incorporate a couple of lengths of box for pallet forks to lift the lid off. Bloody pain you've got to do it though.

Has anyone tried those blank shotgun cartridge trip wires ,?
Could do with something that explodes at them with some sort of persisting irritant .

You could put a tracker in the next one and see where it goes to. £25 on ebay. you might find the others as well.
I only use old fencers now after losing expensive Gallagher ones. I carve my name and address into the plastic case. I also leave a broken one attached to the line somewhere visible. It hasnt been nicked yet.

I'm now thinking trench across headland wide enough and deep enough to stop a truck but disguise it so they drive into it and get stuck.

Hide it, use a length of insulated cable (not a bright colour like red!) Put the fencer in the hedge, conceal it and run the cable to the fence dig it half an inch in the ground if necessary and run the cable up a fence post onto the wire.
