Stealing Firewood

[weldersunited]

Evening all, Just found that some of my firewood supply has been nicked- not a major amount, about 5-6 largeish rings of seasoned Ash. Pretty annoyed about it and expect that the thieving wan***s will be back for more befor long. Annoyingly the neighbour (new to the area and doesn't know anyone) saw the culprits in the act in BROAD DAYLIGHT!

 

So, quesion to all you Arbtalkers with wood stocks- how do you secure it? Mine is behind locked gates but that doesn't seem to deter them...about half is ringed up and the other half split- would they be less likely to nick the split stuff as they have to be "on the scene" longer because of more pieces to handle?

 

Thought about getting some cameras down there as there is more than just wood stored on the site but do they really put people off?

 

Opinions welcome

Lol no i do actually trust this guy and he was most apologetic when he heard what had been happening.

 

Re the Cameras- i thought about that but even is it really that much of a deterrant?
