if your trying to protect 300 bucks of value it migfht be more
economical to harden it from theft or vandalism or move it
completely.
might not be worth the effort to spends gobs of money.............
or put up a couple dummy cameras and warning signs, so idiots move
on to a easier target
Story:
A few years ago, a couple of teen-agers broke into a boat shed
belonging to a boat repair company in Maine. Their plan was to steal
some radios from the boats parked there. Then they noticed the
cameras. No problemo - burn down the whole damned shed!
Of course the recording apparatus was located nowhere near the
cameras and it didn't take long to identify the miscreants, two
local boys, aged 16 &
17. However...
One of the boats, in for a routine tune-up, belonged to George H.W.
Bush.
The Secret Service got on the case!
They let the state handle the adult while they filed "Terroristic
Acts" against the 16-year-old. The federal juvenile justice system
ordered the younger boy confined to the only federal
maximum-security juvenile detention center in the country (somewhere
in Pennsylvania) until he was 21. So, for five years, he'll be
locked up with (mostly) crazy Indians.
I see a problem here. The Youth Corrections Act (YCA) phased out circa
70-80s. They were 18-25 years of age, so if they behaved - felony's
were dropped.
The closest YCA center to PA may have been YCA Lorton, (D.C.)???
Here's one link to the case:

Upon re-reading the report, I'm amazed at how well I remembered the facts. I
missed the ages of the miscreants, but got most of the remaining parts sort
of correct - especially the part about the malefactor being confined with
almost 200 drunk, violent Indians.
Here's another link (same story) from a definitive source, the New York
Times ("All the news that's fit to print" edition):
