Thieves
So the local authorities nabbed a guy trying to steal my new f350 at 9am this morning. He spilled info that my property has been cased a few times, as expected. Any suggestions out there for acreage (75acres) security?

Talked to a police officer the other day. He said the f stands for “free” when it comes to the ford 350s. Very popular target for thieves. Big dog would be my suggestion. That’s what we have on our farm. We can’t touch the scum but our dog will

The way the laws are in Canada, a big dog is great as long as it scares them away. As soon as the dog touches them, the owner is now responsible. About the only thing that you could do would be set up cameras with motion detection. Maybe there is a company that does something with regards to rural surveillance?

I would suggest an outside dog with availability to come in the house through a dog door for warmth. It doesn't have to be a man eating dog, just one that barks his fool head off when someone shows up. I also have motion sensors.

How about those little drones with 3 grams of explosives we've been hearing about....in conjunction with a no trespassing sign, should be fine!

They had a town hall meeting around here. The local "cop" suggest increasing lighting, removing bushes from around the house, and installing a gate.

Lol really?, why not put public statements out to criminals. If you get killed or wounded trying to steal it's your own fault. So maybe don't steal...

i had a F350 stolen out of my yard last December. RCMP caught the guy with it in Revelstoke and he got 90 days of which he probably served 30. I vote for a sneaky Blue Heeler that doesn't bark but bites like a shark!

Drones with a 200 gramm of explosives are fine, just like a big angry dog. Just don’t forget to hide the body after.

Claymores and punji pits, a few trip flares, maybe some white phosphorus grenades on a trip wire...word will get around.

Friends of ours had a semi-visious German Shepard in their garage, the thieves came into the garage, were seen petting the dog on the security camera, lol, loaded all the tools in the truck and then stole it.

A dog that barks at vehicles and people they don’t know, and a wingmaster!
Unfortunately, or I should probably say fortunately they won’t come to take anything when you’re there.

You should get one of these:
Problem is they tend to be a little too aggressive.

Look up “Dakota Alert 2500”. This system work very well at up to 2500 feet, wireless and so far reliable for me. You can put an external speaker outside on a toggle switch as well so that when it’s tripped, they will know they’ve been detected as well and possibly leave before they get past the driveway even.

Wire in a kill switch on your truck, cheap and easy to do. Will help save it.

So back in the day, 15 years ago maybe there was this guy in halifax who was just getting into his driveway and saw a thief exit his place with the Dvd player, so he steered the car into the thieve and ran him over on the driveway and broke his arm. Cops came and arrested both. The thief got charges dropped and sued the owners insurance for damages. The owner got charged with assualt.
Be careful with trying things like that, just get a camera system and put some insurance on your home

Until ford clean up thier act buy a chev. If not buy a electric fence kit from princess auto and clip it to your front number when parked. Or a leg hold trap by drivers door covered with snow or hay. You use pass door. They will only try once

We bought the camera / smart phone system.
We placed hidden cameras all around the property.
Each station sends a notification to our phones and 3 nabours on our road,,, we are linked into their systems as well.
Nabour hood watch at its finest.
We took part in the rual crime watch seminar on Tuesday, I think our next plan is to add a some cameras at both ends of our county road now.
Today's new servalance cameras take very clear pictures, and the cameras are hidden away unseen.
Crazy what these tech companies come up with.
