Guarantee there would be trace DNA on those files, unless the guy who set them was extraordinarily careful. But unless you were raped or murdered, the investigation would not go that far!

That sort of behaviour, the kind that effects my well being and also costs me money (you in this case) is the kind that would make me take action. I would be knocking on the doors or speaking to the farmers myself. With a very effective weapon on hand. If I could determine who did this I would most definitely take the law into my own hands and severely hurt this individual. I know this is stooping to their level however its the only way to stop people like this. I know this isn't necessarily the right thing to do however I could not resist after such treatment.
Hope you heal up quick mate.

Not sure how much range these things have but they would at least give you eyes on your bus. Having said that setting it up overnight to see if that particular spot has any nocturnal visitors might be interesting as it records to sd card. I guess that would be when they set the spikes they might come back to check out their handy work or remove evidence.Bazz said:AngerManagement said:Grab one of these and set it up...

For the $139.00 it would be worth it to nab these suckers

Proving who did this is near on impossible.
One thing for sure, next time I park there I will give the ground the once over with the detector before parking ! It won't stop me going there because I have permission.
Thanks for the kind words fellas.
Cheers,

Swinging & digging said:PLEASE REPORT THIS to the Ararat Police station!
A mate of mine who works for Victoria Police and was stationed at Ararat for around two years say 5 to 6 years ago told me the number one crime in the the Ararat area is trespass and the main reasons given by offenders is Gold Prospecting or hunting? I can understand the land owners concern but setting human booby traps is illegal and can have very bad consequences.
Such a shame so many in prospecting will trespass on private land to get gold? A mate has a bush block in Heathcote and the properties next door phone my mate 6 to 8 times a week when ever they see a trespasser with a detector on his land, 6 to 8 times a week now that is making legal and legitimate prospectors look very bad.
The actions of some will destroy our rights for all.
I find it hard to believe that the police wouldnt act on it. Did you show them photos? Man traps are highly illegal and a danger to everyone and everything.AngerManagement said:Grab one of these and set it up...

In any case it will put em on the back foot strait up, they're reaction should let you know who the guilty party is
