My Solar Garden lights keep getting stolen?

Question

Every solar light I have in the front yard keeps getting stolen . I keep the cheap lights out there for that reason , except for one ... my house number sign which is a solar light as well . That at least keeps getting returned by the neighbors . Is there a good theft deterrent out there ... these are mainly disappearing by drunk teenagers that walk by in the middle of the night . Any good suggestions ???

Answer 1

Maybe set each one in about 100 pounds of concrete that is firmly embedded into the ground.

Answer 2

So you've spent how much on these lights so far? Here is what I would do. Buy this light for $29.00 (see link). it's a little motion sensor light. put it on a small post or someplace where if some one who walks up will set it off. It may scare the kids off. I'm not saying it will work but you can try it.

otherwise I've seen a motion sensor lawn sprinkler for gardens. Rabbits, squirrel etc. You'd have to check around on that one.

Answer 3

You can put out security signs like post a sign for the sloman shield or something along those lines. Also you can try throwing flower on your front lawn and post signs saying warning rat poison....that might get rid of them or you can actually purchase a motion detector, and jump every time you see it go off. The best way is get your self or rent a surveillance camera and record who steals it and give it to the police. It will work if one person/teen gets caught no one will mess with you again.
