You're in the right direction. One of the things I hate the most is a thief. Somehow you need to ID them, get a good description at least or some identifying information, but don't put yourself in any danger. I would be all for baiting them without it being entrapment, while using surveillance etc. You need to make sure you have the element of surprise with the surveillance and any measures you take. Might want to check in with local law enforcement if you can trust them, never know who is involved sometimes in rural areas could jeopardize your advantage by telling the wrong people. Be creative, do some research on the web, know the applicable laws and don't cross the line if at all possible, don't want the tables turned, just getting some clear shots of the perpetrator, and any vehicles used is a good start. Sounds petty now, but in todays world, these people can be real dangerous, we just had a guy caught robbing several business's 2 miles away, one was a friends, this thief must have done like 2 dozen jobs, but someone got a good description of him and thanks to the people who wear a state police uniform, one actually lives in the neighborhood, the suspect was spotted and apprehended, has a long record too. Never used to have this problem, it's spreading towards us from the nearby city.

If you have the time and can set up camp, sit there hidden long enough, odds are you will see them, might be awhile might not, I've done it patrolling the land with tresspassers, there is nothing like the element of surprise that is for sure, I've sprung out of the brush in full camo many times after waiting them out, last year I intercepted over 15-16 of them, without incident, also armed without their knowledge just in case, people know there is a presence here now, it's always some new idiot testing the waters. Portraying ones self as a bit crazy sometimes intimidates these jerks, so does having the state police number ready to dial in your hand, never had to do this years back either, they had barracks right next door! They got hit by vandalism once, right before an inspection, jerks took paint out of our tool shed and marked up the cars, thankfully I was too young to be considered, was right after the cars went to the dark blue colors, from the old black and white dodge polaras they had in those days.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Lead Substitutes - by Mike Schordine. Lead was oriinally added to gasoline as an upper cylinder lubricant. It lubes the valves and seats. If you rebuild the motor, you could use hardened seats and valves, and unleaded fuel. But if your old tractor runs good, a simple lead substitute added to the gas is a perfectly reasonable solution. And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water. ...
