I find it terribly maddening to have your home (area) 'invaded'. I hope you have insurance. That won't cure the problem, but, it'll help get your tools back.
Due to vandalism to my home (we won't go there), I am looking into small, easily hidden video cameras.
These cameras will be either hard-wired to a monitoring set-up (that I'm still looking into), or wireless.
The poh-leese (sorry) can't or won't attempt to catch these miscreants.
I, for one, am fed up with the criminal element in my neighborhood.

I rate a thief right up there with a child molester, murderer and rapist!

It is the only way to actually know what happened and who did it..
If you have a good enough photo then the police will act..

I have no tolerance for thieves; sorry for your loss. Last weekend I went out to my truck and found a guy laying underneath it, and 3 guys standing around the front of it. No idea what they were trying to do, but I can guess. I must have got there before anything happened.

It's getting ridiculous. I just read on another forum about a guy who had the underground power cable to his barn stolen! They broke into the barn to cut the cable, then hooked up a truck to other end, and pulled 450' of heavy wire OUT OF THE GROUND!! They drove down the road a mile before rolling it up, destroying bushes and mailboxes in their path.

That stinks! It is why I have my tools insured for $15,000. Between the dog, guns, alarm, and neighbors, not likely, but, you never know. I do have my garage covered by a wireless PIR so they do not have much time to grab anything much other then a compressor and floor jacks.
Did they kick in a door panel? Doesn't hurt to run light flat alum. across the bottom panels so they can't crawl through.
> pulled 450' of heavy wire OUT OF THE GROUND!!
I believe in TX if a neighbor caught them doing that they could be legally shot. To do that to a someone's barn, that is like killing all their livestock or something.
