After two footprint-free weeks, this afternoon, somebody got around our yard fortifications by climbing over the shed.
The mind boggles.
I'm partly encouraged (if the only way to get through is by going to that much trouble, surely that means we're getting somewhere). But mostly I'm LIVID.
So we drove to Home Depot and got a big plastic trellis, which we tied with wire to the back of the shed, thereby increasing the height of that barrier by two. Take that, you trespassing fuckers. And if the office doesn't start bitching about it - and they'd better not, because I am not taking it down - I will grow morning glories on it in the spring.

Now, that suggests malicious intent, rather than trying to save themselves some work.
As such, I think you'd be entitled to take Action on this front.
Hmmm...
Hey... you do glass-work... :-)
Could you use the tiny, sharp, hand-slicing scraps that you can't use in art work? could you, say, saulder (or foil, or just super-glue) them to a flat piece of plastic that you could put (glue) on the shed roof specifically to shred the hands of these interloaping idiots? :-)
If cornered by police, refer to it as a 'found objects sun-catcher' (throw in a couple of obviously-smashed-bottle pieces and maybe a chandalier prism or three, to make your alibi stick. :-)
