There was a Youtube video about how these jerks kept ramming this guy's garbage with their truck to spread it out all over the place so he filled these plastic Garbage cans with concrete.  When the truck went to ram the garbage cans, it stopped the truck cold and damaged it.  A row of plastic garbage cans filled with concrete would be heavy to move and discourage anyone from ramming them a second time.  Past the garbage cans, further up the row, a row of spikes like the cops use to stop cars or several speed bumps could also discourage them from using the road.

Problem is that those steel pails are getting mighty rare. Does anyone know what industries or business still use them (instead of the plastic pails)? Or, do you have any ideas for another kind of container? I don't what to do the whole thing of creating a charcoal retort like the fancy youtube guy make. I'm not the handy and don't have the time or ambition. I just want some steel 5 gallon buckets with lids.

What about a used water heater tank, those are made of steel.   Some people have made them from bricks and pottery:

You can keep the digester warm using the Jean Pain method by surrounding the digester tank with decomposing compacted wood chips. A big compost pile will keep it hot even in winter. The compost pile Jean Pain was using heated a hot water heater for his home and kept a digester warm to supply bio gas for cooking in his kitchen.
