Another or rather additional thought might be educating yourself on video survealance. Read a book like Home security or home survealance for dummys. [made up titles] you could create a survealance trap. I can understand how appealing it would be to terminate such vermin, but I think unfortunately you could get in real trouble if you were caught killing someone, not fair maybe, but who said the law is always fair. So I suggest a multi- approach. 1 or 2 med to large dogs [ two is good because they are pack animals and really do not like being alone] [plenty of nice dogs at the pound needing homes, just the presense of a dog med. to large is a huge deterrent. [ I have 2 very friendly Pit Bulls we adopted, not for everyone but I like them. Just remember a mean dog is more liability than help for a family, a couple of labs would be fine, [read up on dog temperment and behavior], a 12 guage for in home defence "you feel your life is in danger", and high tech. Information is power. And don't beat your self up with hindsight, very normal reaction. You can now go about dealing with your security, think about it as unemotionally as you can, think possible scenarios thru upsides and downsides to different approaches, make it a personal challenge, think of making you and yours safe, not revenge. Remember "Cool heads will prevail" P.S. maybe a fence for the dogs [like a perimeter], a safe room, [reinforced escape room] with cell phone and 12 guage and pepper spray, and trigger for loud siren hidden inside and outside the house] Think realistic, smart and creative and educate. I am just free thinking this, but I know that confrontations and threats are not like the movies. Act don't react.
