How to prevent solar power lights from getting stolen?
Although they haven't been stolen YET, I expect my solar power lights to get stolen sooner or later. I was wondering if you know a good way to prevent them from getting stolen (other than moving them somewhere else or not putting them out at all)?. Oh, and i would not like to make a cement foundation for them or buy different ones -lol. Any help will be greatly appreciated :) oh, and please make the answers reasonable, don't be crazy.

- Drill a hole through the base of each one, just below ground level, and string a plastic-jacketed steel cable through them all; then bury the cable in a shallow trench between the lights.
- Wow I never thought anyone would steal lights. I have had mine since they first came out. I added some really nice ones this year - hummingbirds that change colour. Not sure what kind you have but what about trying something like the pegs you hammer into the ground to hold done a tent pole. It could be concealed under mulch and maybe some type of cord from peg to peg again concealed. A thief would want to get in and out fast. If they get some resistant they may just leave. Another thing you could do is put a motion detector light on the front. If someone goes near your solar lights a light would come on and they would take off. Good luck on them not being taken.
- The grey haired guy deserves the 10 points, good idea i must say.
- Another option is to use Quikrete and cement the stake into the ground, then after it dries, mound soil over it.
- lol thats kinda funny..ours did get stolen by the damn neighbors dog..he ate one...we called the dog catcher...other than that...i would go with the first answer
- The first answer is the best. I want to buy solar lighting but have been hesitant due to theft. His idea is good -- I just might go and buy some now!
