Also add a _very_ loud alarm in teh shed, one that will /not/ give
false alarms.

In my experience, unless there is someone living nearby who would
actually give a damn about the noise, they are useless, as a whack with
a heavy object breaks them; as my father discovered with his garage.

A mad old boy with an allotment plot close to me set some trip wires,
linked to something which fired off blank shotgun shells. Heard they
did go off a couple of times, and there very no problems with chavs
after that! Guess they wouldnt be able to tell if the shells were live
or not, so probably didnt want to risk it again. Get the feeling
though that if the police got to hear about this particular "alarm"
system, that they would probably find something to charge the old boy
with................

An old farmer I knew used to get a chicken stolen from his coup once per
week when he went out shopping, so he rigged something up with a loose
roof tile. On his return he saw some blood splatters on the ground and
noticed a day or two later his neighbour had got a gash on his forehead.
Nothing was ever said, but no more chickens went missing. Needless to
say which of them would have been arrested had the police been involved!
