firewood theft? how to prevent it?

[Adabiviak]

Dude shanked a marine? Cretin.

I've been contemplating enclosing my wood pile with some fencing material with openings as large as possible without allowing splits to be pulled through (for airflow). This would also provide some stability to help keep stacks from falling over. Someone could certainly cut the fencing off to get the wood, but it would deter lazy thieves, and the risk of theft would then include property damage.

Actually this is funny, but not entirely accurate.

Hello

I would start with one of those Halogen Motion Lights at home depot. Any movement and it floods the area with light!!

That helps allot!

I have one of these in my back yard and they work great!
