Point taken 

however if you have this loader I suspect the value of the rear of your kit exceeds £100000 vehicles, saws grinders etc  to have only cctv not battery backed up and a pair of gates. No remote alarms  your loader picks up a tonne no concrete block behind gates ,loader locked up and disabled there was much more you could have done.Apologies if you did and don’t want to broadcast it on here 

Farmer near me had quad trailer and mower took from locked container in locked  barn, and CCTV . entered and exited via back fields and even cut hole in hedge and 3 fences to get access. If they want it they will get it.

True make them spend time and effort then more chance of being caught or giving up there is a lot you can do.cctv is a waste of money if not backed up or monitored,security in depth is what is required make them spend time and make noise.

A good wheeze is plywood strips with six inch nails hammered through , then press it onto polystyrene foam sheets painted brown ,  laid in shallow trenches , this means ( after you have sprinkled dirt over it ) you can walk on it but a heavy tyred vehicle will suddenly be going no-where . Useful near yr log stack fr the Log Fairies that visit ... ;) K

That's why I use all the big ugly lumps of timber I can't be arsed to do anything with stacked around the outside of my yard as a barricade to stop access across fields

About two and a half years ago I got a call from a neighbour at 1am, asking if I was cutting firewood.
I said no.
The neighbour said he could still hear wood chopping.
I went out with a "small walking stick".
Heard chopping coming from my mates armoured sheds.
Someone was breaking in.
I charged in screaming and swearing.
Someone jumped off the roof, I gave chase.
Caught the b*****d hiding in a hedge.
About to deliver a good swing when I realised he was about 15/16 and a skinny little kid.
Offered him police or parents...
Walked him to his "parents"
Turned out to be his mates place, then he did a runner.
Next morning my mate found his motorbike half out the roof, and some bits missing. The kids had smashed the sh*t out of his sheds trying to get in.
Police were called.

Several months of interviews, line up, DNA, fingerprints, witness etc.
Cnut still gave "no comment" until 15 minutes before his court case, before pleading guilty.
He was 20 years old.
£200 fine
£200 costs

One day I'll see him in the street...
