Some good advice here but good luck having a deputy drive by at the exact few seconds it takes someone with a flashlight to find the gas cap before turning it off. With some moonlight, they may not even need a flashlight.

Some of these burglars are city people who just drive around the country. They will stop and go to the doors banging on them faking some kind of car problem. If no answer, then they break in. A barking dog that doesn't attack them is a good sign for them. With the door knocking and barking dog and then no one stirs, that is a good sign no one is home. They won't take long to load their car and be gone.

Some include a lot of druggies who rent the old farmsteads out in the country that are being abandoned by old farmers who die, move to town, etc. and some relative just collecting rent. They drive by all the time. They can avoid the cops and cook their meth at the same time.

Some include a neighboring farmer's kid with a drug habit to feed. The nicest kids you least suspect may have the worst drug problem.

Some include a friend or hunting buddy (with a drug habit to feed) of a neighboring farmer's kid who may or may not have a drug problem. Some of these school and hunting buddies may see an opportunity at your place.

Besides the cameras, mark your tools and equipment and valuables with one of those inscribers. First thing they do is head to a pawn shop with your stuff. Make an obvious mark on something like your generator or chain saw may cause a pawn shop not to buy it if they see your mark or that it has been scuffed off. Also put a mark of some kind in a place where a thief may not look such as on the frame and behind or under a cover, etc.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership, ... [Read Article]
