If you're certain they have the ability to detect the IR illuminators, have you thought about just putting up a whole bunch of IR lights? Make them think that absolutely everything you own is being recorded.

I like the muzzle flash idea, but these guys have guns too. I'm not trying to bring back the old west. I'd rather collect dna on a naily board, but that still doesn't prove anything except that person was in my yard and became injured. Liability issues, you know.
I don't want to get another dog because I want to travel. I do have a couple thousand rounds of sks ammunition. I need some rock salt loaded shotgun rounds. Did you know there are people that have loaded rock salt rounds and accidentally left a BB in the shell killing the kid that was trespassing?
Using larger IR lights is an interesting thought. Blanket the area with an IR spotlight and they shouldn't be able to see my smaller camera lights.

A well placed shot with a 1/2 bb and 1/2 rock salt load, followed by a good douse ,(and I mean GOOD flood) of lemonade. IT will 1st wound them, and 2nd get them very sticky. Once they fall down, (and a well placed shot will do it) They will get covered by ants! I love watching a crook dance!

That takes a special kind of stupid. Turning the shell upside down is hard. Or how about using only shells that have been fired?

You ever price anvils much less rocket powered roller skates? While Wyle E. Coyote's budget, he could be eating damn well.
P.S. On a side note, I have the official release W.B. Volume 1 thru 7 Loony Tunes on DVD. I should watch them (more).

Haven't gotten around to putting that on hte new phone but it has kitten meowing. One of the twin tubbies comes to check on things every time I play it. The other one will look up but then ignores it.
Well if the kittens are out running around, I just need a big butterfly net.
I'll skip on the domesticating part. I want him to eat your German Sheppard. That'll teach him to crap in my yard.
No more Comcast or bible thumpers knocking on my door? Sweet.

I don't know why, but I just randomly thought about this discussion and had to come dig this back up...
Years ago, when I was still living down in FL, there was a decently affluent local guy (I think he owned a couple car dealerships if I remember correctly) who was into exotic animals. He used to ride around with some kind of cat in his car, a lynx I think it was. One day he pulled into one of those automated car washes where you kick the transmission into neutral and a drive chain with a couple small wheel chocks moves your car along through the length of the car wash. Well, the cat got freaked out by the whole experience, and when the car came out the other end, the guy was curled up in the floorboard, and the cat was running laps around the inside of the car. The leather was destroyed and the passenger compartment was halfway filled with shredded up seat foam.

Unfortunately, I wasn't there to see it happen, but plenty of other people were.
It didn't take long for a detailed account of it to circulate through town.

Oh I am sure. Also fairly sure if I worked there or owned the place, that guy wasn't leaving until the news crew showed up.

Here's the thing...
If you hit the quote button on my post where I first tried to embed the photo (so you can see the actual script of my post, you'll see that's exactly what I did. I think it's something to do with Google's pic hosting that prevents you from effectively embedding stiff in other pages. Once you've visited the Google page, the picture shows up. My first post, the embedded pic shows up fine on my screen. You last post, the second pic you posted doesn't show up for me, but the first one does. And they probably both show up on your screen, right? I'm wondering if either of them show up for anybody else.
Flickr recently made some changes that resulted in the same thing happening. That's why I switched back to using Google, but it's happening there too.

My first one is "broken" on purpose. The second one is done correctly. Sometimes it takes away to find the right properties to paste. Definitely a pain in the butt.

Quoting doesn't always show the link. Some times it does, sometimes it doesn't. That's what drives me insane. It's a computer, it should work the same way EVERY time. Even if it's broken, it should ALWAYS be broken.

Not your first one, your third one. I get what you were doing with demonstrating how to properly utilize the image tags. If you quote my first post, you'll see that the image tags were used correctly, and the url, while with a different string of garbled numbers and letters, was ripped from the Google page the same as was yours, and ends with the same characters.

I don't think I've ever seen it not show the inputted text when I click the quote button. It's always shown me exactly what the poster has typed out (or copied and pasted, whatever.) Is it not showing you the text when you quote my post?

I only made one post with the correct text and it is showing as an image for me. I'm assuming that's the third that you are referring to.

No it doesn't. I've had that on other forums as well. I've also had it where it would not display and I go to quote it to get the OP to fix the link only to have the image show inside of the quote. Being on a govie computer the text will show but if your image is to a Playboy address, it'll get blocked even as a valid link. And the list of blocked links is weird. The gaming sites are always blocked. Photobucket is good but one of the others isn't yet Reddit comes thru just fine. A lot of the time I get an error that the site is "category 'none'".

The section in the middle that I put in bold created a third set of image tags. That resulted in one of the "pic no workie" icons (sorry for the technical jargon) under the image on my screen.only in your post it was all back-to-back. Inserting the bold tags made the line break.
