The Dixie D Short Line "Lux Lucet In Tenebris Nihil Igitur Mors Est Ad Nos 2001"
QUOTE: Originally posted by tangerine-jack If a thief wants something, he will eventually get it. I suggest the normal security procedures: 1. Install at least a 6ft privacy fence, 8ft if code allows 2. Post "No Trespassing" signs, this covers you legally if a dumb*** gets on your property. 3. Install a security camera, either real or decoy, and put it where it can be seen. 4. Write to the local police department and request routine surveillance for your property (I did this a year ago and it works, just don’t come rolling down your own street with an expired tag or you will find it works both ways). 5. Call the police if someone jumps the fence (that's why we pay them) 6. Get a dog, or if you worry about RR damage from the dog, get geese. Most thieves and vandals are spineless cowards and will move along when there are loud animals around. 7. Don't make it public knowledge what you have in your yard. 8. Invest in motion sensitive outdoor lighting.

In the Army we used old cans with a steel nut or washer inside of it strung from the concertina wire to give audible warning of perimiter intrusion. Don't know why I forgot to mention it. Getting dumb I guess....................[oX)]
