My thinking is if I make it harder to take they might go for easier pickings 👍👍👍👍👍 And that's the point of these deterrents isn't it ?! Like having an alarm bell box on the front of the house,,,, that has nothing in it 😲😁 Anything that makes things difficult to 'take'' is a good thing, surely 🙂 On a side note,,,, being a builder, I know of some houses of a certain construction that I could gain access to in seconds,,,, without going near a door or window 🤔🤭😂 Obviously I wouldn't !!!

Rob525 Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 If that hole is the same all the way down I could whip it out in a few mins.... dig it bigger then concrete/post crete and back fill. So it's like a light bulb shape under ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try and take a picture tomorrow. Its not just soil or clay to dig through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
