Hook up a trip line to pull the pin and set off the sound. It will let everyone know someone is taking your firewood.

Hi
Don't know if anything similar is available on your side of the pond but my buddy sometimes has poachers in his woods,
He sets these, seems to scare Em off -

I had been thinking about using one of these for a similar purpose or hooking up motion lights and wiring them to an alarm in the house. Maybe just motion lights would be enough to keep them away. Would be the cheapest method anyways.

Just remember anything you do is a deterrent. If someone wants something bad enough they are going to take it.

How about putting a sign up that says something like "Please stop taking my families heat supply" to convey a thought of shame and that you know it's being stolen. Maybe if you they know you know then they will be worried they are going to get caught
