Default Fence post problem

I've got some redundant fence posts (vandals smashed the bits in

a couple of foot high but I'm not sure how they're bedded in. They do
seem fairly solid.


What's my best strategy for getting rid of them?


Many thanks

Put a sign on the posts asking the vandals NOT to steal them?

Norman Digger.


Thanks for the suggestions.

The locals are total SH*TS and will steal the shoes off your feet
given half a chance so I'm not hopeful about a sign appealing to their
better nature, but I'll give it a go.

Like the idea about wire - I'd been considering running spike chain
through the posts as I think it's important to make it clear that it's
off limits land, even if the barrier isn't physically effective, but
I'm worried they'll steal my chain!!

I still have one question - if the posts are concreted in, will I be
able to dig them out?

Thanks again
