I don't have any major stolen tool stories, but right now I'm hip deep into selling Christmas trees off the farm. Over the years we've had a number of things stolen, including 20 sections of 40 ft long aluminum irrigation pipe. They probably bent it up to take it away. I actually have a long list of frustrating disappearances. But what has drawn me into this discussion was I now rototill the perimeter of the farm so I can see tracks in soft soil. And following some tracks about three years ago at Christmas I came across the stump of a stollen tree and in the soil you could see the footprints of an adult and a child. What a wonderful way to teach your children the meaning of Christmas but by teaching them how to steal. There's not too many more things that gets by blood boiling then finding, or maybe I should say not finding something of yours. I've setup video cameras around the farm house, garage and equipment area of the farm, but I'm not too far away from setting up 9 acres of surveillance. I do not suppose it was Santa and an Elf who left the large and small footprints? But I am interested to know what to use for the cameras?

I can't speak for Jack, but we use video cameras to identify trespassers. The wife's stuff works so well, in fact, that we identified three local kids -- not only by their faces but by the audio track of their voices (they used their names while having a great old time on our heavy equipment)...and when their parents vehemently claimed that their "cherubs" never left their sight, the state police believed what they could see and hear. After paying a short visit to these short-sighted parents, in our stead, the state cops made it unnecessary to press any charges.
