bad luck mate,
we've had a mini crime wave since clocks went back though reducing now its too cold to hang around, the yoofs that is. fences, caravans, cars, patio doors eith trashed broken into or damaged, old folks intimidated. what i did was carded all my neighbours, saying hi to those i didnt know. if every one is aware, wont right off their suffering as quick, then bombard local plod. and if few take it into their own hands well, saves rest of a job... best thing is now i've worked out one of our plonkers lives round corner, nice house, 4x4, caravan etc. think would know better but most of it is boredom driven. rest assured on borrowed time. will make sure he hurts himself next time. axle grease, anti vandal spikes etc.

If they bring the goat with them again forget the police phone defra, it could lead to a nasty foot and mouth outbreak :

this helps deter yobs and vandals and perfectly legal with a warning sign every 50 meters, and you only need this if it borders a public footpath!
http://www.electricfencingdepot.co.uk/ its a very good deterent! :!: and even works for Goats : |

they do electric nets for keeping poutry in, but i suspect anyone who steals turkeys probably has a bit of livestock experience and the electric fencing wouldn't stop them as if you are experienced with it is possible to get round it one way or another.

it sounds o ver the top but I once rigged up a simple alarm, a clothes peg with drawing pins pushed in the face and a pice of cut off plastic botttle to keep them apart, then a fishing line trip wire to yank the plastic out.
Attatched to a blue domestic alarm box strobe and 120 db siren! it all runs off a 12v battery and can be put virtually anywhere, would this idea help? if only to alert you to the intruders. of course the trip wire needs to above the height where wild life will set it off, but then again if it is a fox coming them maybe the low wire is no bad thing :wink: |
