Don't worry, they'll be back to get the rest.....I feel the same way about the free loading leeches.

Invest in a trail camera. About $150. screw it to a tree, set it on infrared, block out all of the little lights with tape, and wait. Check the card, print pics, take them to the neighbors and say, "If you don't replace the firewood, I'll turn this in."
Worked when I had a miscreant snooping on my property. He hasn't been back.
We're just starting a build project as well. (Actually started it a year ago but took a year to get a DOT permit for utilities).

paint the end of the wood with a small dot and face it to the back of the pile. By the time they notice the paint, they will have too much to hide it. take some pics too.

Right now firewood split and stacked, not delivered.. is 200.00 bucks a cord. I expect that to sky rocket by fall. Bet the old wood pile is looking pretty good to the avg tweaker right now.

Any hunting/sporting retailer should have a good trail cam. Cabela's, Sportsmans, Joes, Sportco etc. ... . . .

Salmo, are you a (big) dog person? I think a good size Rott would solve the problem. It sucks to have to worry about you're neighbors. These kind of people you have to make an impression that you won't tolerate any BS ! Good luck !

Salmo,
Don't discount neiborhood 16-25 year olds who would steal the wood to burn while drinking beer at night. Take a walk around and look for burn piles on adjacent properties or those within walking distance. From what I read into this, that is the most logical answer. I'll come clean...I used to pull that sh*t all the time back in the wild and wooly days. But I NEVER targeted homeowners. It was always the di*khead in the RV that ran his generator all night long and left his fire unattended while he sat inside watching satellite TV. Those same people often ran into sudden generator 'malfunctions' at about 3AM.

Yes, Sportsman's Warehouse would be an excellent choice for a Bushnell trail camera with infrared flash. Once we get power out there I will go live with the 6 camera DVR video surveilance. A little spendy, but it buys a lot of comfort.

Can't we just set up a sting operation and have an old fashioned BBQ when we catch 'em red handed?
Fish on...

Yes, the cameras will remain after the construction. Not much of an issue in our area right now, but there is enough of that stuff going on in surrounding areas so it may spread.
