if your yard is fenced maybe a nice big dog to sit out there could be
a way to go....another way to go, and less distructive and faster,
stop at the hardware store and pick up a motion detector light for
the back yard...they usually run like $10-50 depending on the size
and quality...stick it out there....it may deter the intruder if they
realize that your aware they are there when the light comes on!!
best of luck and keep in touch!!
