The house at our farm has been there for 40 yrs without ever being bothered. Last summer we had some "snoopers". I just happened to see them (I am convinced they drove by to check out the place and saw my truck) and confronted them. Because of this, we put a logging chain across the drive, added extra locks to the shop and updated the locks on the doors to the house.
Since we don't have any livestock, we had taken down some of the old barbed wire fences. Last April, we replaced a section so you couldn't just drive across the pasture to get to the house and shop.
About a month ago, someone tried to break into the house. The dodo used a screw driver. Tried 3 different doors. Luckily, they didn't get in. I spent over $350 replacing two doors with steel doors, added deadbolts, and put a handle that locks with a key on the storm door.
We called our welder and he is now building a gate out of 4 in sq. tubing across the drive to replace the chain.
Makes me real angry. Don't know what I would do if I caught someone stealing. Guess it would depend on whether they made me mad or just spooked me and how close I was to where the guns are.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
