What deters the thief?

[borderterribles]

The ONLY. thing that will deter thieves is a much greater likelihood of the consequences of being apprehended being worse than the rewards of getting away with it.

Large calibre firearms and freshly dug empty holes

Was going to say .308 and night vision

 

[f0ster]

Guinea fowl, they make suck a racket,

 

[David.]

But they start up at anything, fox, badger etc.
We seem to have adopted some, and they are a PIA with the false alarms.

Yes, but I dont want to do time, if they get good council?

Zero properly then

 

[Mursal]

Wish it was that simple ............

 

[mushnt grummmble]

Bit more target practice then...

 

[Mursal]

And wipe out the entire family and friends, who were all supported financially by him?

 

[mushnt grummmble]

Nip it in the bud

Adult, tusked boar wandering loose. Now he may be just after a scratch on the back and a rub on the ears but pikies don't know this and when they try to escape in the Transit they find the tyres chewed through.

Sheep! Our cull ewes bleet and make a huge row every time you come into the yard as they think it's cake time

 

[Drillman]

I once got woken by cows blaring in the middle of the night. They thought the landrover driving diesel thieves were in forklifts like ours and were going to feed them.

I got there number plates as they left and they ended up spending the night in mr plods finest hotel

I'd prefer a scope mounted lamp, for that split second of fear before pulling the trigger!

or the red laser pointer

That only works if there is 2 of them,

1, can't see his own forehead

I was walking past a betting shop and a sign mentioned 'smokeblast' security system.
Is this like a smoke gas bomb that will release in the shed / workshop if anyone gets in?
Can you buy tear gas grenades online?

But the idea is to keep them out of the sheds, I know.

 

[Mursal]

Can you buy tear gas grenades online?

Wouldn't have thought so ...............

 

[2YardOfLard]

We've got CCTV and dawn to dusk sodium lights in our yard but from observing camera evidence of unwelcome night time visiters, they don't seem to be in the slightest bit bothered about strolling around the yard without much of a care in the world, however it's interesting that they try very hard to not make a noise.
Do alarms do any good? Wondering if a ring beam around the entire yard set at about 5 foot off the floor that set off an alarm would do any good? Anyone got such a system? Any recommendations?

Heard something on radio where they were interviewing thieves in a prison, asking "what would have deterred you? " They all said the same thing - nothing else except dogs.
(Not about farms particularly).
