My family has a farm in the middle of nowhere, Australia, and cattle rustlers think nothing of pulling up a few semis and taking $50k worth of cattle from the property. It's happened 2 or 3 times. They are probably armed, and know that we aren't. We haven't had a confrontation with them, but imagine what would happen if we did. We don't really know when they do it, but all of a sudden we're missing a bunch of cattle, and we see the semi tracks at the cattle yards. Yeah, they use our cattle yards to load them up.

They would never, ever do that if they thought we had weapons.

If I had a high powered rifle there, I would strongly consider taking a summer off work and camping in the hills overlooking the area to wait for them. And there would be a few semi-sized holes dug in the ground waiting for them. But - can't get a rifle. I think a chainsaw would be the best weapon we could muster.
