Farm Security

[ZetorShaun]

That is interesting, I am going to get this wired IR system:

Long Range IR Weatherproof Remote View System

The wires will be buried, we are having our contractor lay in new electric lines with the camera line as well as put in all the new lights after the garage door is installed in my other barn. That barn will be my secure storage for high value items. The barn that was violated will be under surveillance from two cameras but not secured, it was have heavy implements in it. Game cameras are being deployed on the most likely avenues of approach.

My dog was in the kennel only because my wife was at her concealed weapons class and it was 13 hours. Otherwise he would have been with her or inside the house. The kennel is only for occasions when we may be gone a while so he doesn't have to "hold it." He is only in it probably 5 times a year.

I put the kennel in that barn just to keep him out of the weather. That barn only housed my firewood, Mule, lawnmower and some odd tools, plus I sometimes park my truck in there.

Thanks all, good info johndeere4300, I do not want to become the criminal suspect in all this!

Martins Ferry, OH is in Belmont county ohio.
Sheriff is at
Belmont County Sheriff's Department

I can only assume this is a current web page.

*Local newspapers are the Times Leader
Times Leader

and the Wheeling Intelligencer / News Register
News, Sports, Jobs - The Intelligencer / Wheeling News-Register

Looks like the county has it own legal isues .
Could be they are so engrosssed in their own troubles they can't handle issues like ZetorShauns.

Sorry but the current administration has said "we do not torture".

Hey it worked for Fidel Castro! Put them all in boats and pointed them to Florida.

Yes your right,

And they brought that scare face over here too.

 

[ctpres]

What are the "alarm outputs" for? Do they sense if the wire has been touched and alert you that the fence has been touched?

Later,
Dan

I'm just the boss and not up on tech details. I will find out and let you know. I bet touching fence would not create alarm, probably alarms on shorted fence and maybe loss of power to fence controller.

Yet another reason I detest that profession, cops that is. I have learned the hardway they aren't there to help you.

Man, that's kind of harsh!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your service Shaun. Im working with the same problem here to but Im at home, we have a sherriff that sits on his tail and we dont have a lack of manpower we have several volunteer deputies that have a county supplied car and gas and they are acadamey trained. But that dont fix stupid. One told me and the next road they stopped to take a stretching break on the Divide cut road which the Tenn tom water way has cut off. They were in the middle and one deputy was already at the park and another car load was on the entrance off the main highway. A mustang pulls off a side road and they see them and chunk a sizable bag of dope out the window. They walk over to it and pick it up but because one of them was in the bushes draining his lily, they didnt want to chase them as thats against dept policy. The officer didnt even know what year mustang just that it was blue. I know the car as this but I find it funny that 3 cars had him boxed in and they still lost him. Ive called the sheriffs dept 11 times in the last 9 months. The first time Folks were chopping ground cables off the power poles had pictures of them they said that wasnt enogh proof had a video one time. caught 2 and old man and a teenager trying to load steel out of my rack at my shop waited 2 hours then let them go with a copy otf ther tag and vin numbers still didnt have enough proof. Then folks prowling around at night at my neighbors house. I went to a county supervisors meeting and had a good talk that helped alittle with the power poles. Someone shot out the lights and tried a tire on our parts scraper at work at the landfill. also shot one of our fuel tanks that was empty and a storage shed. The constable is big buddies with the boys that did that we traced there 4 wheeler tracks to there house. MDEQ inspecto told us next time we can turn that in as Eco Terrorism be cause it was at a liscenced landfill. We are putting in infared game cameras in some fake bird houses. The thing with the sheriffs deptment here is they all clump together. usually 4 cars onduty day and nightin the county and several occasions they are all sitting together for several hours talking.
id go with the cameras inside the buildings to. One of my friends was having a similar thing you are having and same problems with the officials. He bought some cheap airtools and putthem in his shed in sight and put in a motion detecting video camera then barred the door where a considerable effort had to be put into getting it. He caught the boys on tape stealing them then barred the door again and left a portable welder that was a spare in the shed to and he had a lojack type device on the welder he taped it going out the door as well. Then called the sheriffs dept again and the went to court with all his hours of tape. and the recovery of the welder and tools. The 2 boys are now down south working for state.. It was a mess but got results fast.

Taylortractornut:
Shot your fuel tank, what buttheads. You had three great points.

1. I really love the idea of placing the cameras in fake bird house. That is a good one, I will probably do something like that.

2. Cameras inside the buildings, great idea, I didn't think about that.

3. That was also a good comment about the eco-terrorism idea. Framing it in that manner is really great to bring the Feds in but the last thing I want is federal folks around me.

I will call in anything that happens but I think I will pursue it primarily through civil means. Restraining order, sue their homeowners, sue each of them individually, and anything else I can get my attorney to do. You know attorneys, only money moves them.

I will probably seek that the state attorney general prosecute since the subjects know the county prosecutor somehow,or at least they claim to.

The Sheriff is being sued by just about all the deputies, all the inmates, and seems pretty clueless, our insurance rate for the jail went up and soon the county will be uninsurable. He will be gone soon but a clone will take his place. I will only involve the deputies to build my case as necessary.

Thanks all for great ideas.

Well,like I said,I would put my rambo mind in,and go on a search and destroy mission[or two].

Fight fire with fire,and it could even be fun and self healing kinda thing.!

Now,would that be the smart thing to do,maybe not,but than on the other hand,might be the only way.

People who act the way the neighbors are,are just bullies,who have never had a bully get after them. Once you do back to a bully,what he is dishing out,it generally alters bullys behaiver.

Could it make bullys behavier worse,yeah it could,which for me would be a good thing,once I started. We would end this in one way or other,if that ended up with me in jail,than there I'd be. But I'd have a better mind,than if I let it continue.

...go on a search and destroy mission[or two].

If Zetorshaun is dealing with a corrupt Sheriff's department, they'll prosecute Zetorshaun if he breaks the law in any way but let their crooked friends go on doing what they've been doing. If they aren't corrupt, but just lazy and stupid, Zetorshaun can't give them anything they can use against him.

Zetorshaun, keep your head, stay on the right side, and outwit these guys. That may take some time and sorely test your patience. God bless you. I know you aren't giving up.

 

[greenmule]

I wasn't meaning on him getting caught,

What I was meaning was,him going on a mission at night. Not being seen,leaving no trails,or evidence,etc. Have to look situation over to see what mission was. Slashed tires,dead animals,broken windows,etc.,etc.

Maybe by the time he gets back, the neighbors will have done something really stupid elsewhere and already be in jail.

IT IS REALLY ASHAME THAT A PERSON HAS TO BE SHIPED OUT TO A

DIFFERENT COUNTRY, AND THEN HAVE NEIGHBORS AT HOME THAT

YOU NEED TO BE WORRIED ABOUT.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.

My job takes me all over the country, and everyplace I go I run across a lot more good folks than bad ones. I have no doubt there are lots of good neighbors around who could help out your wife in your absence. Are there any churches nearby? These are about the best places I know to get in touch with the local good folks in any neighborhood in the USA. I leave two kids and a wife alone while I am away, comfortable in the knowledge that my nieghbors will help them as needed. The driveway gets plowed after snowstorms, venison gets dropped off for food, generators get brought over during power outages, car gets repaired, you name it they do it and ask nothing in return. As far as dealing with bad actions by neighbors, I have had success by helping them out even if they dont "deserve it". I dont have any fences and took down all my posted signs long ago. Poachers interpret those signs as "good hunting" and they have not given me any trouble since I removed the signs. When a new neighbor who moved out from the city threatened to sue me because my tree fell onto his property, I plowed his driveway for him during the next big snowstorm and we now have a friendly relationship. I can honestly say that I really like all my neighbors.

You know, I just had an inspiration on this thread.

Is the do-nothing sheriff an elected official? Most places he is.

Before spending thousands on a security system that will only produce evidence the sheriff won't act on, and figuring ways to go over his head, take the easy way.

Have your wife arrange to meet him socially, and tell him she wants to make a contribution to his re-election campaign. Do it, then wait a month or two, call him up and tell him those dratted neighbors have done something again. For about 10% of what the security system would cost he will come out and take care of the problem. I bet there will not be another instance of vandalism.

No this isn't the way things are supposed to work, but in most areas there is a very strong "good old boys" network. The neighbors are part of it, and this is the quickest way for you to get into it.

A sheriff is suppose to do the right job to start with.

I have seen sheriffs that new that men was beating their wives and did nothing about it.

And a person that is getting no help from a sheriff, should never give him anything that would keep him in as a sheriff.
