Sounds like they are just stealing anything they can sell for scrap for a quick buck. Try one or more of these proven methods.

Buy an old looking electric fence energizer and take it apart. Direct wire it, bypassing all the internal circuitry. VERY IMPORTANT: Leave no prints inside! Make some rubber grommets from an old tire or something, and install them so your locking chain is insulated from ground. Hook afore mentioned electric fence unit to chain on inside of door/gate/whatever they absolutely have to touch to get at what they want to steal. Turn unit on and await the fireworks. At the very least, you may get some free bolt cutters out of the deal. If the cops show up one day asking questions, SWEAR you never opened up the energizer's case, just bought it at a yard sale and hooked it up. Must have been done by a previous owner...

Get TWO big dogs. Only feed them once every three days, or else just a little every day, but be sure to leave them hungry all the time. Teach them you are the boss. Then start feeding them gunpowder every few days. Just a little sprinkled over their food like salt or pepper. Keep them chained/fenced up out where the thefts are occurring, and be sure to include ONE "Beware of Dog" sign. The reason for getting two dogs and not just one is that someone can always figure out a way to get past or else trick one dog into letting them past, but with two, the odds are decidedly against it being successful.

Load up ole Betsy with #9 bird-shot or roll your own with the rock-salt mentioned earlier, (I REALLY like the idea of adding the pig hair.) Then, either spend a few nights out at the scene after carefully hiding your vehicle to make it look like you are not home, or get some of those motion sensor switches that turn on lights when someone trips them, and put the light in your house, or else use an alarm instead, (like a radio turned up load enough to hear it over anything else in the house or to wake you up). Might even put out something so tempting they will feel like they just have to try and steel it by the third night, especially if you're doing the camping/stake-out thing. When the home made "alarm" trips or they wake you up, return the favor in their backsides, but be sure that at least one of them "gets away". Remember, shot from shotguns is not traceable to a specific gun like bullets are, and as long as there are no empty hulls lying around, "Why, officer, I don't know what happened, I just heard the ruckus and called you guys..." but disassemble your "alarm" or break camp and clean the gun first. It isn't much of a stretch to make the cops believe that the one who "got away" must have gotten angry with the rest and did the deed himself. This is even more believable if you have an old shotgun you don't mind "throwing away" at the scene... just be CERTAIN it has been fired recently and none of your fingerprints are on it.

Then again, if you have enough land, live far enough away from the neighbors and can stomach it ... :twisted:
