    Roll up the windows and drive away from that scene. Don't hide behind the chainsaws. :)

    Not cool, having people screwing around your property, stealing
    Is this related at all to your support pole laying on the ground?
    What kind of propane cylinders are we talking about?

    Right where I want to be.
    Here's a pic HDR.
    It's the little camping cylinders.
    The posts just rotted and broke.

    Did they try trading the cylinder for the wood? Burn is burn?

    It's all good, with the Mrs. and 2 daughters in the house, I think I've been 'inked' with all colors in the rainbow, at one time or another. They just laugh.. sigh.

    Wouldn't be my first time, hiding out in the woodshed. ;)

    Even if they got scared off and took off in a hurry those cylinders being there is just strange.

    They might have planned on shooting the propane cans with a 22 or something. Using the wood pile as a back stop.

    I had to 2 two and a half gallon gas cans out by a tree, waiting to figure out what I was going to do with it, because it was drained from a gas tank that had set for like 5 years, it was nasty stinky gummy stuff, so someone ran off with both cans, they got my cans but, I just hope they were dumb enough to put that gas in something and try running it:rolleyes:

    Dave, perhaps they took some fuel and wanted to leave you a different kind of fuel for payment?! :rofl: :lol: Ya, I'd be ticked off too.

    There are ways to disguise a trail cam. One can even mount them high so they can't be reached without a ladder and then aimed down. Most folks won't look up for a trail cam either.

    Ha! Just ask anyone who has a cabin around that area. When the folks aren't home, it is easy picking.

    The most logical way to guard a woodpile is Punji Sticks, just sayin.
