Any suggestions? All are welcome. Anyone have the same problem? Did you find a solution?
We had the same issue and tack welded every screw. Then we got a hold of a back hoe and dug a ditch to block easy access. Were in the process of installing a "real time" security system designed by a talented club member. Sounds expensive but replacing 3 grand worth of panels made it necessary. Is it 100% secure no way but anything is better than nothing. We also put in some game cameras positioned to track vehicles and people coming and going. We were amazed just how much traffic we were getting. Plate numbers and vehicle descriptions help when your going to build s case and prosecute.
