When I was a kid my dads toolshed got broken into twice quick succession. He priced up alarms in b&q but too tight so he made his own involving two quality street tins 1 filled with old nuts bolts & 1 with roof tacks & a lump hammer, they were balanced on a shelf above door which was held in place by an upturned rake, like a cross between benny Hill & home alone. Anyway, good couple of months after first break in, he heard almighty crash from bottom of garden! Him & terriers went racing out, padlock been cut and booby trap did its job. Never had any bother againBucket of Indian ink up on a plank and hidden cordage. As soon as the quad moves everything and everyone gets covered in it!
