A bunch of remote cameras and a back up power supply. If you solve your
internet issue, you can set up multiple tamper proof sensors to alert you
once triggered. Then a quick call to local fire or sherrifs department and
you might have a chance at apprehension. Oh yeah, make sure it is ran on
linux to keep this thread relative to the post list. How's the neighborhood
watch system? Get to know your neighbors. If it is remote how about
surveillance on the street?
