Just a few thoughts here. When replacing the equipment/trailer you might think about installing (hidden very well) a GPS tracking device. Also for smaller money you can get a CCTV camera and time-lapse recorder and catch the idiots on tape if they come back by.hoss4570 wrote:I started to say I aggree with you but I feel like I'm being picked on by theives around here. In the last year they have stolen two expensive mountian bikes out of my front yard, my pipe jacks, my fab horses, two tool boxs out of the bed of my truck, the welding leads off of my welder THEN the whole welder, trailer included. I don't know if I could contain myself if I caught them stealing. I like to think I would not shoot a man over a pair of plairs but then again, they are MINE and not his, they are on MY property, not his. So I really can't say. I don't go up on anybodys property without permisson .lawrnk wrote:hoss4570 wrote:I;m tellin yall, this HURT when they stole my welder. It has cost me 10.000 dollars in the last month and still have more to go. I WILL shoot next time given a chance. Yall do whatever you think is best. At least they won't do it to other innocent people, asleep in their own homes. I WILL NOT roll over and play dead and let these scum steal my stuff if I can help it.
If it were a bike, it is theirs and I'll call 9/11. If its 10k worth of stuff, what I use to make a living and support my family, I would shoot to maintain possession of that equipment.
"The camera doesn't lie" and may help the police match them to other incidents.
With the tape they can be easily prosecuted unless they have a few extra holes that they didn't have before.
