I am building a homestead and was robbed twice withing the first 3 months that I owned the property. However Nothing has happened in the last 2 1/2 years. What I did was put up a gate and many signs(posted,cameras, beware of dog). But the best deterrant was I took a motion activated deer sprinkler and mounted it 20 feet past the gate. This sprinkler is hooked up to a pressurised 5 gallon bladder tank that is filled with skunk scent purchased on Ebay. It has gone off twice, with photo's from camera's. One was a trespasser on foot (who I think was the original theif) and the other one was a pickup(sprayed thru drivers window).
