Cameras - most thieves wear long pants, and hoodies to cover identifying tattoos. They look down so the camera won’t catch their face. Dummy cameras are cheaper and just as effective if you post signage.
Motion lights - I’ve had mixed results. Probably best on the perimeter of your property to keep them out. Otherwise once they’re near your trees or house the crooks just look appreciative that they can see where they’re going.
Audible alarms - most effective for me. They don’t have to be loud, but it’s the only thing that I’ve seen actually made thieves run.
Are you in HPP? I think the association has a few that they’ll loan out for you to try.
