Another or rather additional thought might be educating
yourself on video survealance. Read a book like
Home security or home survealance for dummys.
[made up titles] you could create a survealance trap.
I can understand how appealing it would be to
terminate such vermin,
but I think unfortunately you could get in real trouble if
you were caught killing someone, not fair maybe, but
who said the law is always fair. So I suggest a multi-
approach. 1 or 2 med to large dogs [ two is good
because they are pack animals and really do not like
being alone] [plenty of nice dogs at the pound needing
homes, just the presense of a dog med. to large is a
huge deterrent. [ I have 2 very friendly Pit Bulls we
adopted, not for everyone but I like them. Just
remember a mean dog is more liability than help for a
family, a couple of labs would be fine, [read up on dog
temperment and behavior], a 12 guage for in home
defence "you feel your life is in danger", and high tech.
Information is power. And don't beat your self up with
hindsight, very normal reaction.
You can now go about dealing with your security, think
about it as unemotionally as you can, think possible
scenarios thru upsides and downsides to different
approaches, make it a personal challenge, think of
making you and yours safe, not revenge. Remember
"Cool heads will prevail"
P.S. maybe a fence for the dogs [like a perimeter],
a safe room, [reinforced escape room] with cell phone
and 12 guage and pepper spray, and trigger for loud
siren hidden inside and outside the house]
Think realistic, smart and creative and educate.
I am just free thinking this, but I know that confrontations
and threats are not like the movies.
Act don't react.

Today's Featured Article -
Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
