Thanks for the laugh, Mack C-85.

In the 90's I used to keep my chainsaw in the house and used to joke about if I ever was home and an intruder came in, I would fire up the saw first to scare em off.

One of my fire houses had a haunted trail as a fundraiser..... the de-chained, unmufflered, chain saw was one of the best props out there!!!

It scared the crap out of me a couple of times, and as a guide, I knew the damn thing was there!!

If you really want to tempt fate, buy one of these: https://www.theblankbox.com/shop

Then leave it in plain sight in your drivers seat, door unlocked. He won't try it again I'd bet :lol:

Move. It’s not fair, and you shouldn’t have to do it, but it will solve your problem.

Unless his new neighborhood also has crooks.

All neighborhoods have criminals. And of course drug addicts. One day I saw what I thought was a piece of trash that looked like an empty bread bag up against the side of our brick steps that go from our driveway to the doorway of our Halethorpe area house. I was tidying up leaves and such, so I went to pick up the bag and discovered it was not random trash at all. I opened the bag to find loose syringes, a package of syringes like from CVS and the remains of a soda or beer can bottom that was cut off and apparently used to cook drugs in. Needless to say I told my girlfriend to call the police to report it.

The house and all our vehicles are locked up 24/7.

Move

I’m on the move side of this too, Wife and I spent 3yrs battling adderal addicted neighbors. First cop said it’s not trespassing if you have no signs up- even though lot is fenced and locked. Cameras are great...lol...they give you a picture but then you have to prove that the person in pic or video is same one your charging, good luck unless they pose for a selfie.
I was ordered by a judge to turn off my security lights because they disturbed the tweakers who had no shades on their windows- never mind that their threats is what brought about the lights. Spent more $$ than you can imagine, and moved to Maine a couple years later. Only thing I gained is ability to tell this story and it’s too long for here- Maryland (police,courts,DA etc) is designed for criminals not folks like us.

use of cameras

maybe game camera in the car , or discrete CCTV because when they know CCTV cameras are watching, they can wear a mask of some sort.
