It did not take them more then two min. to get in fire it up and were gone . the only way to SLOW THEM down is to have a master Kill switch and a hidden fuel shut off . If it will not start or shuts down shortly after start up they will usually leave it and RUN , now if the bring a way of towing it then i geuss you have to resort to more drastic masseurs Like pop up spike strips to flatten there tires or a 50 cal H E round thru there engine block . keeping a couple venomousness snakes layen on the seat . Remember locks are to keep honest people honest and nothing short of a well placed round will deter the criminal . You can place hidden cameras all over the place and all this will do is give you something to look at and i may give the law something to go by . Like they really care . Several years back on the coldest night of the year just before Christmas soome one stole my one friends skid steer out of the barn , his farm sets between a main state highway and a township road to the rear , They drove in from the back to the base of the one hill and walked up behind the corn cribs and peaked around them , then walked to the barn from behind the corn cribs to the barn and opened the door fired up the skid steed and drove straight out the door up over the hill and down the other side straight out to the back road and loaded it and were gone , now here is the best part where they loaded it was more or less between two homes across the road from my buddys farm . Many years ago my uncle lost not one not two but three tractors . One was stolen the night of a local tractor pull and this was back when most of us did not have trucks or trailers to haul them so we drove them sometimes up to 25 miles to a pull. Thief's crooks low lifes don't want to mess around they want to be in and out before you get your pants on or even get one foot out of bed . So the harder you make it for them the better it is for you , something as simple as turning the fuel off , a master power disconnect a master fuel solenoid switch to keep power away from the solenoid , may cost ya a starter or you may have to charge the batterys . dogs , but they will kill dogs , motion detector lighting motion dector alarms that they don't hear . And if you go this route then all alarm wiring should be placed under ground so again it makes it harder for them to defeat . Just hiding keys don't get the job done as with equipment keys stop and think about it here if you have a john deere key how many pieces of Deere equipment will that one key fit and the same goes for the rest. Myself due to my days of buying and selling , equipment repair and from my days of heavy hauling i have a key that will fit 99.9% of everything out there that runs on tires or tracks . As may times you would go to haul a piece of equipment and it was selfservice loading and NO KEYS , so you had to resort to HOT wire , man that takes time and at times ( not many) of explaining why your HOT wiring to a cop here again not many but a couple , so having the KEYS made it easier even when loading in the dead of night and a cop does show up and he askes what you doing and are you suppose to be doing this and when you show him KEYS then it ok . Because a vary large portion of them don't know that oh gee one size fits all here . Now this may seam cold hearted but the only cure for these people is the 3 S rule . Like one depute told me if ya do then make sure you PLANT the body deeper the 25 feet as we don't dig deeper then that .
