We have had some intrusions in the past and have done (at a cost) some

All of that has not stopped a certain indivdual from using our garden as a
shortcut to his parents house when he has had a taste of beer and heaven
knows what else.

Thinking I was within the law I put a bit of barbed wire in his way in MY
garden betweem the Prika Striped fences. There is no way in or out unless
your intentions are criminal.

He got a bit entangled, snagged his body and clothing, and I have an ASBO
for my efforts. He rang his parents and they knew or at least thought they
knew where he was.

The GuardCam worked against me in this case because I had the cheek to
protect my property.

Oh, that's awful, Baz! I'm so sorry to hear that. Protecting your own
property and interests these days seems to be fraught with problems.

Can you plant a prickly rose against that fence so that you have some
protection? Provided you keep it trimmed at the top (which will make it
denser ;~)), I don't see how the police can object.
