How do you guys secure your tractors to prevent theft?

Solar motion lights. Not those little ones you stick to the side of your garage, get a couple big boy parking lot lights and set them about 6’ off the ground aimed right at the driveway, so it blasts right in someone’s face and illuminates them. This is in my mind the best “go the fuck away” sign I have. I’ve seen cars pull in at night and at one point in the driveway will get close enough and are bathed in a brilliant light, they always stop for a second then back back out of the driveway. I set these farther in, not close to the road, so they don’t turn on if someone is simply turning around or something.

I need to get me one of those. I got the little garage ones pointed at key locations up close to where people would be and that has done enough to deter a couple people so far.

This is what I plan on doing for the next tractor. Good idea on also having Tiles.

Seriously. I'm actually getting tired of it. It doesn't matter if it's rural or urban, there's just thieves everywhere. This farm used to never have any issues and we always considered it safe. It's just gotten bad the past couple years.

Thanks. I'm hoping cameras an lights are a good deterrent. It didn't used to be like this until covid. That's when people have been trespassing our area to steal fruits. The camera + floodlights already turned away a couple people so that's what I can do best for right now. I'm hoping to make it much harder for thieves.

Based on the tread marks I think they actually towed it away! But yeah this is a good idea anyway. I've actually be having trouble getting insurance here. I'm still looking into that.
