After too many times getting the gas stolen out of the old Ford tractor and lawn mower out behind the shop overnight, we put in motion detector LEDs. It didn't help.
So we painted several old 1x6s black, pounded $10 worth of 16-penny nails into them, and laid them out around the perimeter between us and the big field the thief and his four-wheeler used out of the 'line of sight' for the motion detector lighting.
That DID work, and all it took was one step. A heavy trail of blood led back to the fresh four-wheeler tracks in the field. Haven't had fuel stolen in a few years now.
And the young guy 900 feet across the highway still coincidentally walks with an obvious limp when he's going to and from his truck ... but I'm not accusing anybody. :rolleyes:
