I thought the good thing about living in the U.S.A. was that if someone tresspassed on your property, you had a legal right to blow their head off with the highest caliber automated rifle you own.



I did a search and found this: Electronic Yard Fence
It's a motion detector that emits light and ear piercing noise when set off. It's only got a 15 foot range though, so you might need quite a few if your property is big.

Better yet, put in some Electric Fencing: Electric Fencing
So far the highest voltage I've found is in the above link (10,000 Volts), although most seem to average out around 4,000 to 5,000 Volts.

Burn down their house so they move to the next county. Now there’s a creative solution

Don't shoot people. Don't kill people. That is bad, for everyone involved, and society.

There are many other things to do, all of which involve a bit more effort. But, humans and animals are different, and it takes effort to behave in ethical ways and be part of a community.

I have found that economic pressure works very well in my neighborhood. You say they live in a house? Get the city to put a "nuisance tax" lien on it. Most municipalities have that provision and it forces the owner of the house to deal with the problem in a way that hits them where it hurts - the pocketbook. Plus, you can keep piling them on to a certain point.

Some other examples of ways to deal with this situation have already been mentioned. Motion sensors, pictures, cameras, etc...here are a few others off the top of my head:

* Mace/pepper spray
* A dog
* You can buy halogen flashlights that are so powerful they can temporarily "blind" someone if you shine it in their faces. Use that next time, get 'em in their face, then get a few good pictures? Or something else...

Just off the top of my head.

Good luck,

Alarik

If you want to personalize the security of your home and make the computer part of it then go might want to go to www.SmartHome.com

But be warned. I usually dont recommend that site without first telling the person to hide their credit cards or hand them over to a spouse. This is MAJOR hacker/geek toy country. Everything you need to make your house do everything you have ever seen in any movie.
The guided tour is fun to look at.

Don't shoot then with a rifle or a pistol. Get a stungun and shoot them till they are squirming uncontrolablely on the ground. Then call the police. It's non-lethal, so it cool.
