can't find a price for those anywhere

Earth, I know this is a huge headache for you, I hate trespassers and thieves as much as anyone but in my experience you can have all the signs, security systems, etc and all they do is prevent good people, the bad ones will still ignore them. You are spending a lot of time, energy and money into this, I just wonder if it will be worth it in the end.

Groin had a suggestion on your other thread about approaching them about leasing your land to hunt on till you move out there, is that even an option?

They wouldn't pay to buy the property, they've been trespassing to do it for free, they're in Bankruptcy, and even before bankruptcy, couldn't afford it. Even if I offered, they'd not pay and then use it as license to say I gave them permission. I have no intention of rewarding bad behavior.

 

I can and will get my money back through civil court. I'm a principled person. The law may not make it easy on me, but its on my side.

 

The way you stop bad people is to put them in jail and throw away the key.

 

I welcome them to ignore the new camera system once I install it. All the better to get them convicted in criminal court.

My Dad would say, locks only keep the honest people out.

We have trouble every year during deer season..regardless of posted signs...it has gotten better since I did a few things to discourage the behavior.

We had one 'kid' giving us a hard time on our posted land...he was harassing my friend's wife (5-1 and 120#), he was still mouthy and aggressive when my buddy (full Navy vet) came up on the Scene...the kid finally left...later that day we happened to be at Bass Pro...my buddy was old friends with the store manager there and they were talking in the store...here comes Karma..well the kid from that morning was working there and saw the two talking and came over in a huff...the kid's attitude didn't work out so well for him.

Things like this rarely ever happen...but it was awesome to have that unfold like it did.

...hope things getter better on the land...tough to beat people who don't care or think they are entitled.

Thanks Gravel and KVR. Not sure how I missed these replies till now.

 

Agreed on the saying that locks only keep honest people honest. Next best thing is catching the bad guy on video and being able to identify them as someone you've met/know, and pressing charges.

 

It's just a matter of time till the cameras are replaced, and they do something else and get caught for it. That's the one blessing when dealing with bad guys: They're all stupid.

 

I love when Karma happens. Just wish it were a reliable phenomenon and not the rare lucky break it is in reality.

what is the system you are looking at?

I held off answering this for fear of the system which has been discontinued selling out. It has since sold out. GR had a theft which prompted me to post a reply about the system that replaced the system I was wanting.

That post is here. It answers your question.
