Bloody grubs.
It's not like they're struggling people that quietly suffer from all this deliberate mismanagement in everything in this country for so long, it's deliberate ongoing theft by the type of grubs that think working hard for something is taking the time and money to drive distance to steal from others.
The dudes I caught that night not so long ago were in a huge shiny black American pick-up, like one of those pathetic Rams, they were sneaking around our sheds and bolted when I put the torch down towards there.
I had plenty of comments about what I should have done then, but it would've been me that was in trouble.
As it was, nothing was done by our respected law enforcement, not even a visit.
Then, you wouldn't believe it, Thursday I had an individual from the property where I have had Intel on, where that vehicle came from, a bloke from the same mob complaining he didn't have any deer to hunt with his bow, because they'd all been mowed down by these wonderful new community members who've graced us with the pleasure of moving in to our area, and would not take a polite no for an answer.
You know how we all have professionally made signs on our gate now saying no entry, visitors please respect farm biosecurity plans, pl3ase call this number prior to entry? Well now my number is being daily text and called repeatedly by this bloke. They say, keep your enemies close... but FFS.
I guess I could use this to my advantage, but I think that would actually be a one way street.
These crooks are dumb at the end of the day... I dont have many suggestions, but I do have a few... trail cams with sim cards set in strategic places ready to video the moment they are tripped... surround the fuel pumps on your property with spotlights on a movement sensor, and tape a recording of your voice very casually telling them that uve seen them... cops are coming.. we have your rego... etc.. and put that on the same movement sensor as the lights coming through a speaker... I like using a nail mat, and putting it at the entrance/entrances to the fuel pump at the end of the day... you can also easily rig an alarm to go of in your bedroom the moment the movement sensor is tripped... obviously you have to ensure the sensor isnt sensitive enough to be tripped by Foxes etc...
one of the things my mates did down south... he hotwired in the whole area surrounding his pumps... the moment he flicks that switch to turn on the sensors the whole place goes live including the gates, with enough power to kick those bums right back to where they came from... obviously those fences cannot be reached by his livestock...
Another mate is pretty handy with welding... he has built 2x Montser gates surrounding his pump area, (you can only get to it through one of those 2 gates)... he made a slam mechanism and spring activated the gate then wired into sensors... he activates that when he goes to bed... the minute a vehicle breaks the sensors and passes the gates slam shut... and im telling you... that vehicle is not getting out... the only way out for them is walking, and the fence they will come to is very heavily hotwired... and the fence cant be reached by the car... they would have to drive over a pretty deep revine/gully to do it
