I HATE a thief...

Just hope they text and drive then the authorities will use all resources and be all over them.

True that! Sometimes their own stupidity will bring them down.

Stupid is as stupid does!

^ this. trail cameras or even better one that can send your phone a signal when it takes a picture so hopefully you have enough time to arrive and greet said pos

That would be amazing!!

The local sheriffs dept is I "involved" but I get the feeling making a report is the extent of their involvement at this point.

That is all that is going to happen. 10 to 1 odds a 'sheriff' knows exactly who is breaking and entering your property and 10 to 1 odds they are family or friends so nothing is going to happen in this case.

Pfft....how effing hard would it had been to dust a damned can and run prints?? At least they may have gotten a name and could have watched them to see if they were doing this to others too!!
Oh, yeah ....i forgot! That requires effort. My apology.

I hate small town LEO almost as bad as a thief.

Rig up some NON LETHAL traps, get pics, foot prints, some traps with skunk oil, snake skins that fly up when they trip the string, heck even rig up some rubber snakes that will fly in their direction.

Just a simple suggestion to strongly consider...

Alright...I gotta vent!!! There is an old house on family property that was built sometime in the late 1800's/early 1900's. My family lived there for years and years, but it has been "abandoned" for about 10yrs now. The house is, well...was, packed full of old antique furniture and historic documents relating to my heritage that went all the way back to 1792 when they came over from Germany. Well, Friday of last week we found out that someone had broken into the back of the house, the part that can't be seen from the road, and has trashed the place and stolen God knows how much stuff. It appears they have been coming and going for months (beat down paths in the grass). They flipped the whole place and there is literally a min of 2-4" of stuff on the floors throughout the entire house with it knee deep in places. They pulled stuff out of every closet, pulled every piece of furniture off the walls, dumped out every drawer, flipped every mattress and seat cover, pulled every thing out of the attacks, snatched books off bookshelves, took pictures off walls and ripped the backs out of them, and the list goes on and on and on.... If that wasn't enough, they went through the barns that are still standing and dug stuff out of them too. Hell, there was an old syrup boiler in the yard and they had dumped all the water out of it the Thu night before we discovered what was going on. I could tell because it was nearly empty and all the muck that was in it was next to it on the ground and still very wet. So, Sat morning bright and early my wife and I began the task of trying to get what valuable we could identify out of the house. We literally worked at that from 8:30 sat morn till dark and did the same again Sun. There is more stuff to get, but fighting to find time during the work week. When leaving the house Sat we tried to secure and lock the place up as best as we could and wouldn't you know it...those bastards came back Sat night. They didn't go back in the house but the same set of tracks pulled in and out of every entrance that goes to the house. Guess the new locks on gates and our tracks coming and going spooked them. The local sheriffs dept is I "involved" but I get the feeling making a report is the extent of their involvement at this point. For example, there was a V8 drink can on a pc of furniture by the door that had obviously been from Thu night (liquid still wet in the rim of the can) and the officers didn't even offer to take it for finger prints!! Now, I'm not trying to upset any of our LE folks. My dad was a cop and police chief for years and I love and respect the men and women in blue. That just seemed like a no brainer to us but seemed like a bother to the responding officer and detective. I have given lots of consideration to spending a few nights there in the hall with a shotgun and shooting whoever comes around but I'm sure that would be frowned upon by the local authorities.

I don't know...don't what good typing this has/will do other than raise my blood pressure again. I guess I will leave it like this. If you stumble across this post and you are someone who doesn't have enough morals to know that trespassing on other peoples property (posted or not), entering into a dwelling/barn that you do not personally own, and taking stuff contained within is not wrong; let me be reassure you that it IS wrong. Doesn't matter how run down and deserted it may look, it is not yours and you need to respect that and stay the f#@k out! Also, if you are one of these scumbags...I hope with every ounce of my being that someone comes and takes everything you own destroys what you do have and cherish.

Thanks for letting me vent, yall have a nice day!

Should put some cameras out

Karma saw them do it so maybe they will die very soon from an excruciating, painful disease. Thieves should be tortured before dying.
