Unfortunately, there are people out there who just feel they can take what they want. After a neighbor had some stuff walk, he installed the wireless driveway alarm. I took the same route. Put one up, and there is only one way in or out, so I know when someone drives down the drive as soon as they do. If nobody is around, then it doesn't do much good, but usually someone is around.
I have had a few dealings selling on craigslist, and always try to meet the people rather than have them come to my home. Had a guy who was supposed to show up to look at something, never showed, I called and he said he wouldn't be able to make it. Later that day, who came down the drive, but that same guy. Said he was in the area and stopped by. My truck was out in the back, so from the drive it looked like nobody was home. I calmly walked back in the house, grabbed the camera, took his picture and told him if anything dissapeared I would give his number and picture to the police.
You handled it right, the law doesn't protect the good guy, just the criminals.
