Here is what I done one time. We were staying in a motel once for a couple of days with no fridge. We were on the second floor and I sat out a six pack to keep it cold. When I went to get one there was a bottle gone. HMM, ok. I brought all in the room and promptly filled an empty with you guessed it, used beer. Put the cork back on and later it was gone.
Taught that #@$%^&^ a lesson.
I did that another time when some #@$$%$% stole a cigar that was sitting on a ledge where I worked. Went home and filled another bottle and the next day set it on the ledge when I left work. It was gone the next day also.
when somthin would get in grandaddys hen house, he would run a string across the hole they dug, tie one end to a post and the other end to the trigger on his shotgun, then he would take the shot out of the shell and put in a piece of fatback, usually did the trick. The fatback would stick to whatever it hit and would be sizzlin from the blast.
When I put up my two cameras I checked on the laws here and and the signs only apply to places which are accessable to the public and to where the public is invited. Like restaurants, grocery stores, banks, etc.
A simple "No Trespassing" sign covers that quite nicely. It means that the general public is not welcome on this parcel of private land and that once past that point the trespasser is at his own risk and cannot hold the landowner liable.
Now, while I started out mentioning a civil manner with which to possibly identify the purps in this heinous crime you will notice that I did not mention how to handle the jerks once caught. Use your imagination from this point forward.
BTW I grew up in Maine and know of at least one BOOM that ended what would have been a pleasant warm evening.
That's jacked up!! The worst part is it's prob the same person/people that took the smoker as well. That'd eat at me, the thought of someone using my smoker and wood that they stole.
Sounds like the 'No Trespassing " signs may help legally cover yer butt a bit.
Game cams for pics is good too.
Another sign that may be helpfull would consist of a target with big holes in it ( minimum size a calliber that starts with a 4 , on up to what ever slugs you have handy or a good representation of what 00Buck can do )
