    So.....I fly two flags on my house. An american flag and a thin blue line flag. My house is surrounded by a 4 foot wooden fence. Over the past 1.5 years I've had my flags (one or both) stolen 3 x and my home vandalized. I have installed surveillance cameras, ring doorbell, a driveway alarm (which detects movement when someone comes into my yard via the gate), various flood and motion lights and signage warning of CCTV in progress. All thefts occur in the middle of the night. I have caught them on surveillance a few times, but they either cover their faces or the IR cameras dont quite help in distinguishing a positive ID.

    Im frustrated as hell. Of course they dont have the nuts to confront me or do it in the daytime. Any other suggestions?

    Refusing to fly my flags is not an option. They go back up as soon as they get stolen.

    I tried to post the video clip of the latest theft, but couldnt figure out how to do it. I could forward the clip to someone to post on my behalf if ya'll wanna see the idiots at work.

    I agree that a dog would be a great solution, but if that doesn't work for you then get motion lights.
    If the light doesn't scare them away, you can see them better in the video.
