I've recently tried to put in solar lights in our front garden beds
(they are quite cheap fortunately!)...the ones that you simply poke
into the ground. But soon after some of the lights were stolen, which
we actually got back as a kind neighbour found them in his front yard.
But over the weekend 5 entire lights were stolen, and this time I don't
think they are coming back. Anyone else had this problem, and more
importantly, does anyone have any ideas how to stop this?! Had ideas of
chaining them together underground, or perhaps trying to lay them in a
concrete block underground. Personally I'd probably wire up the metal
casing to the 240V supply, but my wife is stopping me.. Thanks for
any ideas.

Cheap electric fence unit with some hot-tape run around so they have to lean
over it to nick the lights? That'll spook them up. A zap will most likely
remove the incentive to nick garden lights...
