New rental house neighbor on the block came over to talk and look at the car and started nosing around with comments like... boy you have all the tools anyone needs here...in a sleazy sort a way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Thought this was a perfect time to take pictures of all the tool drawers and boxes just in case. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

If you havn't done it, do it now. Insurance pays with this kind of proof, if you ( I ) come home one day and the garage is cleaned out! Bill

This is certainly not what I expected down here.

Electrify your box, or setup a shotgun loaded with rocksalt filled shells underneath so that when a thief opens the top it blows his legs full of the shit.


Just remember to deactivate this stuff for your use.

It might work, but a "spring gun" trap is a good way to ensure you won't be needing your stuff for about 20 years, and the resulting civil suit will take it all away anyway.

That was a more extreme example.

But I would personally electrify it. You come in there is a hidden toggle switch to turn it enough, just enough current to knock you on your ass until the police come. By that time if you want you can easily disable/move this. Your word vs his. Guess who the police will believe?

A nice silent hidden motion sensor and a trigger to SMS your phone or something when it goes off and you can call the police. Add in a mini camera recording to a harddisk weekly/daily flushing the video if you want to record these people stealing your stuff then deal with insurance not paying you what it is worth.

Just saying, you can't run from these people. If you have nice shit, they will find you and try to take it. The insurance company is not going to give you 100% of what you lost, this happens all the time.

The shop has had many attempted break ins. Last time the kids tried smashing the windows with a newspaper machine, but there were steel bars behind said glass.

Pretty hard to have a civil suit over trespassing, breaking and entering, etc.

Since the OP is in Texas, they have laws favoring your rights on your property.

Pick your method, but packing up, moving is kind of like ducking your head into the sand. It changes nothing and prevents nothing.
