I WOULDN'T get lights. that way they would get scared off and might not come back and they wouldn't be caught. I would have camera's a gun traps and various torture devices. sorry not to be horrific. I wouldn't torture them...... probably.

hmmmm, I'd put a line of electric fence around the top of the fence and padlock the gates. ((I'm talking about a HOT wire!)) That would be fun to watch someone get ahold of!

[I have WHAT in my yard?]

I am sort of surprised that this is not of interest to the police. This type of behavior on your property when you are home is the sort of behavior that is the calling card for budding sociopaths.

Cameras are a very good idea, as is arming yourself and being very paranoid. I am always the one on this site who is saying I cannot live life paranoid and always believing the worst of other people. But, in this case I would be very concerned for my children. The fact that this is done while you are home is alarming in the extreme.

This pattern - and it is a pattern - is a practicing sociopath who is escalating their behavior.

We were told that here at least, if we knew some one had harmed us or our property before and we had cause to be worried that we were entitled to defend ourselves fully. Ie. the cops told us to buy a gun. I would probably go back to have another chat with the local LEOs.

I'd set up cameras, then make a whole lot of copies of the picture and post them everywhere public. Don't have to say a word, don't have to say it was your house...just something like: look who's been sneaking into my yard and attacking my pets. Keep this person off of your property. By avoiding names, avoiding trials, maybe you can embarass the idiot. I'd post pictures at grocery stores, in front of the library, at gas stations, bulletin boards at apartments, liquor stores, stop signs, light posts...

Cameras, wouldn't hurt to stake out in a tree with a paintball/BB gun. Worth a shot. Hope you figure this out soon. No fun to have animals messed with.
