My neighbor had a similar problem once with thieves and vandals. One year,at halloween, the local punks were hitting on him hard, so he came up with a novel approach. Somehwere in his travels, he managed to aquire a navy surplus collision siren. He wired it to the decorations so it would go off if they were moved, then he went happily to bed. Sure enough, they struck again that night. As soon as the statue was moved, the siren went off, those things are loud!! He said he was watching out the window when it went down. The would-be thief fell over at the first blast, and couldn't quite seem to get his legs under him for a while. My neighbor only let the siren runs for a second. After that, there were no more problems with the decorations. Something similar might work for you... ==Bob
