Your starting to scare me Rory
Here is one for you... Last week I was visiting my Dad who lives in a little BFE town a hundred miles outside of Las Vegas. While there, a neighbor of his came over and started asking me questions. I guess my Dad told him I was coming and might be able to help him with a recent problem.
He owns a small junk yard where he has been dealing with local vandals. He was wanting to find someway to prove which of the local hoodlums was coming in at night stealing parts. A dog is not an option, and his budget eliminates any CCTV or Security System as a solution.
Here was my brainstorm .....:
I asked him if you have to walk through any rather narrow paths to get from A-B in his small junk yard. He said yes. about a 10 foot path between stacked cars.
I remember seeing that they make these wire trip land mines for paintball games. They use a small Co2 cylinder for pressure and state to cover an area of 700+ square feet.
I suggested that He try one and instead of filling it with the instructed paint ball paint fill, perhaps a stout mixture of Red Ritz dye along with something of strong odor. He loved the idea. I guess in a little community of 60 people, if someone comes home "colored funny and stinkin" it doesn't take long for everyone to hear about it
That is damn funny. I had a person who wanted to catch "the little sh*ts who are messing up my yard". It was a residence and she only wanted a temporary solution. Due to a limited budget, I ended up getting a trail cam for $200 and mounting it to the inside of here fence so it would view through the lattice. The mount was adjustable so during the day she could loosen the clamp and it would drop behind the fence out of sight. Since she had a flood light on the driveway, I took the foam part of a $0.49 foam paintbrush and covered the IR so it wouldn't give away the location.
I rented it out to her for $100 a month, thinking in only 2 months it would pay for itself. Well the first night it was up they came, but we didn't get the shot so she adjusted it and within 4 days she called to say they caught them and could ID who it was. I let her know that well since she had the camera for the whole month she might as well keep it up!
It worked great and worked within her budget.
