So a family member lives not in a neighborhood but in a rural area with neighboring homes that back up to woods. She and her brother caught someone looking at them. She lives alone “sometimes with a girlfriend” that frequently use the hot tub and pool so we are thinking peeping Tom. I’ve told the brother about game cameras and trip wires that make noise. But what other things could they do besides setting a 330 or a duke #15 in the ground.

Right or wrong, booby traps sound like a sure fire law suit waiting to happen.

Decide to target practice at odd hours. Tends to keep people away.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

2 hotties in a hot tub they might catch me I’ll need to be more careful thanks for the warning. LOL [sarcasm, J/K, joke, not even serious, see my lawyer for more details.]

Lots of fun options. Make a trip wire to set off fire crackers, air horn, or old camera flash.


But getting some cameras off Amazon that send pics to a phone will not only give you real time info and allow time to prepare or call the cops but will also lower insurance costs.


Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Dog for sure, doesn't even have to be all that big. Anything in the 40-60 lb range is plenty big. Not that the game camera and other surveillance measures are a bad idea, but the dog will put a stop to it.

"Caught" as in knows who it is? Should be calling the cops.

Dog , cameras, both good ideas however, have you considered habitat modification as well ?

Cutting brush/treeline back , planting spiny/uncomfortable/dense foliage, installing fencing/privacy walls , installing no trespassing signs (helps big time when law enforcement is involved) or other modifications.

First of all notify law enforcement, you never know what kind of crazy people are! A dog is a good idea, driveway alarms can be useful, trail cameras, etc! Hopefully they’ve got a good shotgun to.

solar motion lights

game camera

trip wire on a siren and light

you should avoid the kind of things that hurt people , cause even if it is the 12 year old neighbor peeping , if he gets hurt , he was just out playing or adding to his bug collection

game camera is probably the best idea


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
