To set a trap for low life scum....

[Winnie]

A dog is the absolute best thing. Even our Jack Russell is a good guard dog. She doesn't attack people but she sure lets us know if somebody is there.
Bigger dogs are better, a rotty or something will deter potential thieves for sure, another thing is to get a little $5 sign that says you have CCTV. A lot of the time thieves will see that sign and steer clear, too much of a risk for them!

Half a gerry can full of petrol, add a handful of aluminium powder and 2 kilos of sugar.
Stir well, add can to trailer in obvious position and retire for the night.

Motion sensor to switch on battery charger, battery charger hooked up to a Dick smith buzzer by ya bed, also by the bed, 1m of 3/4 water pipe, one capsicon spray and a very bright torch.
Shine torch in their eyes, belt over head with pipe, Then tie them to a tree for a week, squirt daily with spray until well done.
Cheers, the ferret.

Edit" if you have the room, get a couple of geese, the ultimate warning system.

Edited it a bit, but no one get hurts in this one & What ever they put the petrol in, wont be working any more, and will reduce the need to steal petrol again

Good for a giggle, but if you want to change the hose to a paintball gun

I'm with Roofy, get yourself an ugly pig hunting dog. I've had 3 dogs thus the name, best man stopper was Jack the Doberman bloody awesome to watch in full flight. The othe two are Mastiff cross called Cruiser cause he cant get up hills, and Tyson a Blue Pitty cross. No one jumps my back fence.
Against the law to set Mantraps, Pricks will end up sueing you.

A few signs might go a long way like
NOTICE Please read before entering
Due to the recent influx of trespassers all future residents of the trespassing burial plot will require dismembering .

this subject touches close to my heart, Ive lost shit loads over the years.
I even went as far as installing cameras and got some excellent footage, but the Police just werent interested.
They said even though "we" could make a positive identification the courts may not and that it wasnt in their (Police) to persue it.
I have now opted for a low voltage electric fence set up energized with 2x 9volt torch batteries.
Touch my tool trailer, car trailer, camper trailer or garage doors and zap! Not enough to hurt mind you, but enough to startle even the hardest criminal.

My 15yr old son can hold the wire when fully energized so its not too hot to handle.

I have also been in court a couple of times years ago when some little mongrel jumped my fence and my blue cattle dog chased him down the driveway, so big dogs can be a problem!
When the Police dont give a rats arse about catching these scum low life mongrels we need to take things into our own hands,,,, dont we!

yeh my ex father in law had a great dog, would let you in BUT try to leave ha ha had plenty of knocks on the door at 3 or 4 am saying I am looking for someone or i have trouble with the car, go out next morning and retrieve the bits where they dropped them when the dog stopped waggin her tail lol priceless, hope you get it sorted, best bet is motion sensor lights or as i have a talking motion sensor that has recorded voice message and its not pleasant

I have heard cockatoo's are good as well train them to say whatever you want and if someone is about they go off.
Fiends of my parents had one on a property out in the sticks when i was a kid i remember when going their when they weren't home it would tell you they were on holiday etc was funny as.

Wow there are some brilliant responses and I love the Video...

It has given me some great ideas, some that stand out is 3/4 water with 1/4 petrol and let them pinch that!!!

I would love to electrocute them all but may run into trouble with the law that has still not found my laptop.

I like the trigger that turns a light on next to my bed and also like the saltshot for my 12 gauge....

I have a unique front yard and it is hard to protect and up till 2 years ago I had a bloody big heeler (see avatar) but it would do me no good here, my 2 Jack Russell's are only good for hunting and not property protection.

Am looking into surveillance camera and will update my sensor lights which started playing up a year ago and I have not got round to fixing properly.

I can tell this cuts to the bone for so many and on a whole we are hard working good people who happen to have low life's not to far away watching waiting to take whats not there's...
