$0.02: You may want to invest in some kind of motion-detection auto-on lights as well. Pretty inexpensive at a lot of stores, and a little light puts most would-be criminals on the move to darker pastures.
which gave our thieves ample light to strip the boat of batteries and any fishing gear that got missed when the boys got back.
gave them plenty of light to get into the shed and steal the rest of the gear that did get put away.
5K total lost. We were home, sound asleep.
We've always had the lights out back, I don't know if it has ever deterred anyone, but I know it hasn't deterred at least 3 separate times where they still took what they wanted.
