One of the best deterrents is a video camera. Game trail cameras on the drive way, positioned to catch the image of the driver and the plate, are ideal.
But don't stop there. The idea isn't so much about "capture and prosecution", as it is about prevention. Put up clearly visible signs that say, "Premises videotaped" or some similar verbiage. Burglars and thieves don't want their pictures taken.
A dummy camera or two are an excellent deterrent, and they are cheap. (Harbor Freight or Northern Hydraulics)
Put the FAKE ones where they are VERY visible, and not easily reached, such as up in the peak, under a gable on an outbuilding. Don't put them on a pole, where it can be quickly seen if there is a wire going to them or not. Hide the REAL cameras well, and don't brag to your neighbors about how well you hid them, by telling them WHERE you hid them. A surprising amount of rural burglaries are by neighbors who know when you are home and when you aren't.
I have a neighbor who has been losing stuff w/ regularity. I've told him time and time again to get a game trail camera, with infrared capability, (about $120), but he hasn't done it yet. Doesn't matter how good the advice is, if it is unheeded, its ineffective.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership, ... [Read Article]
