True story. When the original Procter and Gamble immigrated to Cincinnati in the 1830's they set up their original shop down near the river. Being "fiscally conservative" they did not want the expense of feeding a dog to guard the shop over night. So, they went out and found a LARGE discarded dog house. Nailed one end of a piece of log chain to the wall of the building. Threw the other end of the chain into the empty dog house. And then placed a cow femur from a slaughter house in front of the dog house. No issue with petty thievery.


This oughta work.
