Wood thieves????

Friend of mine did the black powder thing, worked really well, and the fire dept also got in some practice (in a real rural I mean real backwoods area).

Game cameras, a barking dog, and a sign of some sort...

Yeah, it's fun to contemplate loading up a piece of wood with LA in hopes the thieves will steal it. But the reality might a bit too nasty. That liquid is going to boil and the container will burst, possibly with great force. If any of the contents are flammable (or the propellant is propane, which is common), it could be one hell of a fireball. The stove would probably contain it. But what if the door was open at the moment it went off? Or what if the thieves have a fireplace? You could find yourself in really big trouble.

And just to make matters worse, there is always the possibility that the person on the receiving end wasn't the wood thief, but an innocent spouse or child--or a visiting neighbor.

Okay, enough buzz kill. Let us know how it works at the Docs.

what about rigging a ballon filled with liquid ass to a trip wire and having a game cam on? they trip the wire, liquid ass balloon falls inches from tehm, if not on them and then the game cam takes a pic

priceless

or if they are taking from the same place in the woodpile, maybe some real poo on 6 or 7 logs were they snatch from, and the game cam still amust

Black powder explosion in the fire place/boiler won't leave a trail like liquid ass. No one will no why the fire place exploded. Thieves will also never admit to stealing wood. Even if they did....no evidence. It burns away with no traceable odor to alert someone of something fishy......so I am told.

my answer to a problem I had, which was kids knocking down my bird feeder

I used a five pound fire extinquisher, emptied it and refilled with red dye
and pressurized to 100 lbs, hooked to a solenoid 12 volt and then to a circular sprinkler head
micro switch on bird house
when bird house was knocked off, tripped switch, sprayed red dye in a ten foot circle
never had a problem again
and heard one of the nieghbors telling another nieghbor about her kids clothes having
red stuff all over them, kid didnt know where it came from
imagine that

thank you,

(bows to cheering crowd)

I love halloween and build props, so I have lots of ideas
and materials to pull these things off

kids and some parents avoid my house at halloween time
never know what might "pop up" hehehe
