I just wonder how he knows that burglars will only try to get in on moonlit

Perhaps his field is being used as meeting place for Witches,or more
likely Hare Coursing . The hounds chase by sight so a moonlit night is
ideal for the activity. The people who indulge in this are not usually
nice people you can have a discussion with. Around here the farmer has
had to barricade his gateways with large piles of concrete railway
sleepers to stop easy access by 4x4 pickups . Same sort of people who
go around nicking lead.
