Make that TWO guns.  One firing blanks, with a parabolic sound-mic to
make it REALLY loud.
One firing buckshot.

Our "target" is whatever looks most-tempting, propped up against a
tree (or other tall thing you don't mind filling with buckshot).  It
has a motion-sensor ALSO aimed at it; this triggers the guns.

Buckshot gun is aimed at the tree/whatever, about 10' above the ground..
The sound-enhanced blank is aimed right at the "target".

Someone walks up to steal it...
*bang* and the buckshot hits the object overhead.
1 sec later
* B * A * N * G * ! * ! * ! *
aimed right at them.

I don't think they're staying for further debate...  :-D
