Live on a small ranch, completely fenced with barbed wire. Quite a few different buildings and out buildings.
Have some friends over last night for some BBQ and we were all next door in the club house. My GF comes in about 6:20 and says I left the door open to the loafing shed and the cats got out. Was pretty sure I had closed it. This morning I get up and find the door to my shed open...ah fuck. Look inside and my stuff is spread all over but not much missing except a Gama Pellet Gun. I go in the house and start watching multiple camera angles. This Fuck, walked right down our driveway next to the clubhouse (the gate is usually closed and locked) and he casually walks to the back of the property and goes into the loafing shed. He had a back pack and a skate board when he went in. He comes out a few minutes later with neither of them. He casuallly walks back towards the club house and checks the door on my car and is looking inside. He then turns around and enters my shed that is attached to a walkway that goes to the backyard. No sooner does he go inside and closes the door, my GF is walking by and sees the cats out and goes and shuts the door to the loafing shed. There is a window in the shed and no doubt this Fuck is watching and heard her calling the cats. She walks back to the club house and we eat dinner. He is in there for about 20 minutes and then he walks out with a gun bag (it was empty sitting on a shelf) and obviously the pellet gun in it. He starts back up the way he came in and decides better and goes back out the back of the property and climbs over the barbed wire fence. He left his skate board in the shed. So after going through all my shit, I think he spooked. Here is the fucking weird things. I had my Vortex Razor spotting scope in a bag with a tripod and a chrono. He took the cordera cover and left a $1500.00 spotting scope and everything he had packed up to take. |

Shoot a bunch of holes in the skateboard. Write "you forgot something" on it and leave by the street

Dude it's 2022, you think your state is immune to stuff like this happening too? If anything is outside it's fair game, period.

Quoted: Your security cameras don't alert on motion? View Quote Oh fuck, they would be going off all the time. Lot's of animals around here. Besides we were next door. There were 7 vehicles here at the time. He didn't give a fuck if he got caught or not. I will see him around this neighborhood soon. This was broad fucking daylight and I have tons of video of him, his clothes, his walk. He was wearing a pull up gator over his nose. |

Pretty bold of him to do it during the late afternoon with people around and awake.

Just dig a shallow grave right near the barn and stand the shovel and bag of lime right next to it.
He should get the message... and if not.... |

View Quote The trespassing is one thing, entering my personal buildings is another. I normally lock that shed at night but we got in a hurry last night doing our chores because our friends were coming for dinner. |

The piece of shit probably stole the skateboard to begin with and is too retarded to recognize a expensive spotting scope..
|

I’m guessing this isn’t the kind of ranch that I know. Where do you live OP
|
|
He just climbs over a barbed wire fence? You need electrified fencing and more barbed wire
|
|
You need a system that alerts on people/vehicles only.
I love the cheap Wyze cams because the AI is good at recognizing people only. |

Either turn the skateboard over to LE and ask it be fingerprinted to identify the perp or take matters into your own hands when he comes back. Lots of folks I know might bust him up with a bat just enough to discourage him from ever returning. Not that I’d recommend that.

You wouldn’t happen to know any pig farmers by any chance would you?

Had someone wander in a couple days ago after sundown. He threw a leg over the second wire and was coming into the area around the house, and I told him to fuck off.
I was standing about 10 feet from him and he stood up while he was still in the fence... Not a country boy that one I have been waiting for him to turn back up. |

View Quote Get better cameras. Even the mid range Reolink systems can distinguish between animal and person these days. |

I’d make myself comfortable in the shed and wait for his return.
Attached File I did like the suggestion of modifying his skateboard as a warning. Combine two, skateboard as headstone to shallow grave for bonus points. |

A rare instance when a captive pit bull in a shed is most welcome.

The way the half-wits are these days, he’ll probably knock on your door and ask for his skateboard back.

I doubt the skateboard was his, but he will likely be back at some point.

Shi OP, I'll be in Denver all weekend. I can come down and sit on the porch for you.
