There is a guy down the road from me that goes “thief hunting”.
He puts cow patties or cat litter or rotten chicken liver in a box and sets it out on the road.
Then he will be in camo in the bushes with his shotgun.
He will wait until they get the box inside the vehicle, then empty his shotgun straight up in the air so that they don’t bring the box back.
