How do you stop a thief?

Somebody in my apartment building keeps stealing decorations off my door. First, it was a patriotic decoration I had last summer. This year it was a little seasonal decoration. These things don't cost that much but I it's wrong and I can't stand thieves. Does anybody know something tricky I could do to deter them or at least make them wish he or she hadn't decided to steal from me?

For your information the thief is the most afraid person .
First: you can put an Ray chip in all your entrance to your house( make it in visible) , so the thief cant see it .
make that Ray connected with the TV (before you go sleep put the volume at most!!!).
the trick must be like this : the Ray cross the theif`s body the TV turned on , once the theif see that I`m Garnette that he will run away!!!!

here is what i did. i started noticing that when certain individuals visited things would turn up missing. i am a electronic freak, i guess so i set up many cameras and recorded when these folks were present. i caught them red handed and then i showed the evidence to them. you would be surprised by some of the people who ae guilty of this. so called normal, employed people that do not even need these things and there were a lot of them. kinda makes you sick.

PS. I REALLY FELT BADLY ABOUT DOING THIS AT FIRST BUT WHEN FOUND OUT WHO THESE PEOPLE WERE I FELT VINDICATED. i didn't like doing this and hope i never have to again.

BUY A GUN!!! Just kidding, report it, although its so minor the police wont take it up. Maybe leave a note to the thief to say that u'll cut off his balls if u catch him, I'm not kidding or trying to be funny, threats can scare people and thats what i would do...Report him to the apartment owner? maybe...but how will that work...Hide a small nanny camers in the potplants maybe and u can see who it is, the u could go kick their asses, thats an option too. Hope I helped!

put a discreet notice in your lobby saying that you lost some of your decoration (don't say steal) that had a special sentimental value to you that it belonged to your grandmother and gave it to you as a birthday gift. then you ask if anyone found it to return it in return for a small reward (a box of chocolate or something) this is an appeal to their humanity and also you may find out who did it and keep on eye on them in the future.
