    Further musings., One could I suppose, have a tape loop that played every 20 minutes, saying softly that 'Jesus is watching'.

    think I'll put some kind of spell warning up with a picture of a witch..!

    You could try a sign saying 'Beware adders and other snakes'.

    This works for me! People are very reluctant to touch my stuff! 

    I don't know why it went huge when I posted!!! Still the bigger the better!

    Probably illegal but I'd be tempted to use some electric fencing around the inside of the shed to give them a bit of a jolt, lol. I do know of someone who once electrified the metal doorknob of their shed :/ to protect the motor vehicle inside. Maybe its allowed if warning signs are put up. I dont know what it would be powered by though.

    Ultimately, if thieves want to get in, they will, despite ANY precautions taken, Police don't give a flying pancake and if you care enough to get all the paraphernalia for securing a Fort Knox type property , then it will be a gamble.If you can afford to lose security investment, then go ahead. I believe it is just  'you pays your money and takes your choice. You could be just as secure by leaving the door open and hope that the thieves think there's nothing worth taking !
