redhook, you do provide some entertainment on a slow news day. There's little laughable about what you and your neighbors are going through, though. It's obvious you hate thieves, and hate being held hostage by them. Not surprising you're having all these fantasies about what you're going to do to them when you catch them. Some board members have given you good advice. Getting those pictures and informing/involving your neighbors is a good first step. Now, get those pictures and as many neighbors as possible to a meeting with the sheriff. In some areas, property can be seized if illegal drug activity continues after the owner is informed of it. Environmental agencies might get involved if they believe a site is being contaminated by meth production. Hope you win your battle against these thieving bastages.
