Make a police report, with your sheriff. They need to know, you'll get more support if you have evidence of vandalism. If there is further criminal activity in the future, you'll be able to build up pressure for the sheriff to get involved. On December 2, 2018 9:23:40 AM EST, "Kaleb C. Striplin

I went to HF and got a couple of their solar lights. I was going to install them on the shop but I’m going to need some self taping sheet metal screws, of which I could not find any so that will have to wait until I can get. Heck I guess I could have stuck one up on the light pole though.

Get a couple of those bright motion-activated solar lights and nail them to the lamp post. That'll scare anybody away. On Dec 2, 2018 3:48 PM, "Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes" < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > 5W solid state purple laser. Why mess around? > > --FT > Sent from iPhone > > > On

Screw it im going to HF to get 2-3 of them to try out. If they work good I may get more. I also need to replace the wall lights that are mounted on either side of the garage on the front of the house. Debating on going motion on those or just the ones that turn on at dusk. Then I need to

It’s not so much the brightness of the lights but that something lights up when people go wandering around uninvited. That’s often enough to scare them off. -D > On Dec 2, 2018, at 12:26 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > Yes I need to do that. As large of an area as I have to

I have cameras around my house. We’re not in an area where there’s any crime to speak of, but our neighbors across the street have a rental that was vacant for a few weeks and someone went poking around trying to break into it, so I put some cameras up to make the wife happy. I used some

Strongly suggest you add an ultra high intensity flashlight to your "go armed into the night" kit. One that is so bright it blinds who ever you point it at... The intimidation factor is worthwhile, plus, should you see the viable legal need to defend yourself, you have a better sight picture..

Yes I need to do that. As large of an area as I have to cover I am not sure the led solar lights will be bright enough. Even though these are much easier to install I keep going back to good old fashioned flood lights. Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 2, 2018, at 11:19 AM, Rick Knoble via

Hi definition security cameras. Will it prevent you from getting ripped off? No. There will be video evidence though, and that will assist in apprehending the perpetrators. You can set them up to alert you to movement too. Great for seeing when your family and friends are coming and going.

I'd be worried about stepping on that spiked board. Maybe put up signs that face your property to warn / remind? From the road the signs can't be seen. I'm thinking that's a bad idea, liability for injuries etc. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On December 2, 2018 10:38:43 AM

How often do you drive there? If you spike a board and put it where it will be driven over, can you and yours remember 100% not to go there without moving the spike board out of the way first? Do you have any dogs? If I spiked my yard, Phoebe would be sure to run over it and rip her paw up.
