it was locked up, in the shed, that was broken into, along with my neighbors... my new BBQ is chained to the deck with chain that you would use for towing cars, or tying down heavy loads on semi trailers.. something like 12k breaking strength not sure could be more... ive put alot of effort into protecting my stuff, only to be slapped in the face... and frankly, im fed up with it....

DF, good point... ill probably go that route, that way i can atleast shoot them with something that will hurt like hell, and wont kill them, and isnt even considered a firearm i dont believe... i dare them to call the cops and tell them that i shot them with a paintball gun while they were robbing us... thanks...
