a rifle and a sack

A sign: No Trespassing
What the dogs don't finish, we feed to the pigs.

Cheaper to "hire" a guy to live there in exchange for security.

>>1115298
I got that covered not too worried about security if I'm around but I won't be there 24/7. Anyone staking the place out will see me leave.

>>1115305
Thieves will just kill any dogs but signs at least can say you're serious.

>>1115310
See if you can get a local neighbor to watch your property everyonce in a while for x amount of dollars.

moat with a drawbridge. The moat will be filled with h2s. They will never know what hit them.

>>1115329
and local neighboor is the thief or tells someone that there is place with possibly valuable stuff.
dont trust anyone right

>>1115329
This is helpful but it could also be like "Hey anon I drove by your place this morning and your shit's all busted and missing". Rural properties are typically too far away for anybody to notice anything, especially at night.

If electric fences are legal, can you electrify other objects? Door knobs or window sills?

Get Game cameras
Leave a cheap radio on inside set to a talk radio station the sounds of voices will trip potential thives out
Forboding Signage such as neighbourhood watch
Alarm company's also sell signs

>>1115462
I was thinking game cameras, especially the kind that send you an alert on your phone.

Noise is an okay idea, Menacing signs I think might be trying too hard. They could attract thieves by suggesting I have valuable shit that's totally unguarded when they see me leave the premise.

I would invite like a dozen PTSD-disability veterans to live on the land for cheap/free but I just don't have the money budgeted for that and it probably would not work for zoning laws.

>>1115389
Hammer H2's?

Leave fake dead bodies or bloody weapons in the middle of your drive way, it would probably scare off potential theives, I know it would scare the shit out of me. Also, it's not like they can go tell the cops without outing themselves. Not a serious solution just an idea.

>>1115487
This kinda crossed my mind, but that'd backfire. A methlab or grow or survivalist, okay, if they thought business was a deepweb snuff deal or the lair of a serial killer and one little kid in the state goes missing....

I don't want psyops, I want to be left the fuck alone to work and to not have my shit stolen or my shit busted up when I go to get groceries once a month and don't want to pay much for it.

The place will look uninviting as it is, that does not deter meth-addled rural thieves.

>>1115269
Just so you know, if you put anything in your drive or yard that causes damage to personal property or bodily ingury, they can sue you for damages and win. Even if they were trespassing and stealing. Fucked up world we live in i know.

>>1115515
No, as long as it's clearly posted 'high voltage' or 'severe tire damage' and it doesn't actually kill or seriously injure them it's fine.

Actually as a rural residential or agricultural property I don't even have to warn them.

'Keep out' or 'no trespassing' is enough. They ignore that warning and persist they have no legal protections anymore.

>I was considering camouflaged tire-spikes on the main driveway and perhaps either narrow ditches or anti-vehicle cable on the outer perimeter.
well, that's begging to be sued

>>1115519
How are trespassers going to sue me? They off-road in a truck to my property crash through a fence and expect to sue me? Or they crash my gate and get their tires fucked up?

I counter-sue them for opportunity loss justified, they pay for the barricades I built in a lawsuit.

Nobody has sympathy for rural theives in rural counties.

>>1115522
do you have a septic tank or propane tank? i can see two ways if so.

>>1115522
someone going up your driveway does not make them a thief.

>>1115269
If you don't mind sharing, what part of the country (state) are you considering? What oyu have in your picture looks hella comfy

You need to engage your brain op
Camouflaged tyre spikes?
So a burglar goes to ransack your house in the middle of nowhere and then when he's a few hundred yards from the house boom, transport is fucked. Hmmmm so what does he do now? I'll tell you what I would do, I would turn your house over until there was nothing fucking left of it while my buddy was on his way there with a new set of tires.
Security is all about striking the balance between not being threatening enough to ward off burglars and being so threatening that they figure either it must be a jackpot or it's an empty threat and your a pap.
You really need kind of average security really, some motion activated lights, locks on doors, padlock gates. Normal shit that doesn't seem out of place like your hiding something but makes it tedious to get into.
Simple things like net curtains so they can't see anything valuable. But no rural property your kind of fucked. Just make sure you walk about your garden every day with a shotgun or something like your out hunting.

>>1115522
If you ever need the emergency services this could backfire on you.

>>1115545
I plan to die alone so no worries.

Actually own 10 acres with a mobile home on it that I visit 2 months of the year. Don't set up booby traps like spikes in drive etc, this will encourage them just to do damage out of spite. Take satellites and solar panels with you every time. There is no other option. Anything worth having will be taken at some point. Some thieves are kind enough to pry the door just enough to get in and close it behind them on the way out.

If you can't accept that then you will have to go way more often or have someone there. Some folks do come such as surveyors and nearby ranchers to collect strays. Cameras never help identify people, it instead is just a tool to anger you.

Your state must be better than mine.

>>1115269
Is it plain jane land, or does it have a shed like in the picture? If thats the shed in question, why not just beef the shed up?

>Check of any openings and close them off, beside for doors.
>Add or make locks for doors.
>Add shit ton of solar power led lights all around the shed, fuck, add some strobe lights and lets rave.
>Add alarms, you can find cheap ones on amazon.
>Dont leave shit outside that scrapers and meth heads can steal.
>If you have a ditch that is deep enough that a car/truck cant drive in, tear out the driveway and build a drawbridge
>Leave a radio on 24/7 inside.
