A post down a bit about driving through fences and tearing up crops has me remembering a friends cure from many years ago. Those old peg tooth harrows placed upside down in the proper places seem to cure their problem. Especially if there is a couple of inches of snow on the ground. No law against leaving your old machinery around your farm.

I recall the farmer that had a problem with theft from his fuel tank in the yard. He laid some old harrow sections upside down one snowy winter night in front of the tank. When he retold the story, he said they looked like "little cigar butts" sticking up out of new snow.
Shortly after midnight, he heard a commotion, and went out to discover the neighbor kids, sitting on 4 flat tires in front of his tank. He said he never had a theft problem after that, even though he had to buy new tires for their car, just to keep peace with the parents.

Father-in-law thought gas was going down rather fast in his gas tank. Had fuel supplier put diesel in it on the next fill. Next morning there was a car stalled about 100yds down the road. Gas fill smelled pretty much like diesel. Cops wouldn"t take any action, but Dad figured he got his revenge.

Why the heck would he want to keep the peace with those worthless parents. I would think they would be lucky to even get the car back!

"Peace with the parents"?

A simple call to the local Sherrif's Department via 911 would have been ALL it took.

It's your gas barrel, on your property. You can park YOUR MACHINERY anywhere you want on your property, and especially in your own dooryard,and tresspassers, especially gas-stealing trespassers really ought not to have a lot of say in it.

Besides, that is what the county Sheriff Deputies are for---they are there to "keep the peace: and given the evidence of a car with four flat tires sitting next to YOUR GAS BARREL ought to be a great plenty.

Your neighbors OUGHT, in order to keep peace with YOU, to be refilling YOUR GAS BARREL FOR YOU, rather than you having to buy replacement tires for THEIR WORTHLESS CHILDREN!

It used to be common for me, in the winter especially, when the ground is frozen solid, for drivers to lose cotrol on a curve and wipe out perhaps 150 feet of my woven wire fence and especailly the posts that held it up. As this field was one that livestock often were in, it became a problem.

Those motorists, generally if they notified anyone at all, they notified neighbors, not me.

I eventually determined that cattle panels, between railroad ties (as posts) made a good solution. The railroad tie resists breakage pretty good and the cattle panels are easy to replace even in the wintertime.

We found that using misc. piecies of T-post, approx. 2 foot in length and pounding them into the ground so only about 4 inches above ground level does a nice job also.

Our solution has been to use the biggest locust posts that we can find. They can still hit them, of course, but they won't be driving away intact. :)
