    Put a neighborhood watch sticker on it that'll scare the bejesus outta them!

    Seriously though I think you can get a light sensor with a camera on it and a speaker that announces they're being recorded.

    That or a noisy dog that'll wake you and a big shotgun.

    Where in Athlone did this happen? Check your home insurance details as it might be covered.

    The company won't accept them if there's kerosene all over them.

    It's got to be the Americans, they're drawn to oil like flies to sh1t.

    Someone on Dragon's Den last year invented something to stop oil being stolen. Can't remember if it was on RTE or BBC but it would be worth looking up I think.

    This happens everywhere in Ireland though.
