Maybe your neighbors will massage your prostate for a few firewood logs if you ask them nicely.

Filas bond strongly with their immediate families and show extreme loyalty and protectiveness towards them. They live to protect their loved ones, including children and other pets. Very few will accept strangers.
Many Filas will never tolerate any stranger. Despite their aversion towards strangers they are excellent family dogs, devoted to the children in their family...
This sounds like my American Eskimo! She is great with the family but *hates* everyone else and barks like crazy when anyone tries to come in this house.

The American Eskimo Dog was originally bred to guard people and property and, therefore, is territorial by nature and a valiant watchdog. They are not considered an aggressive breed. But, due to the breed's watchdog history, American Eskimos are generally quite vocal, barking at any stranger who comes within close proximity to their owners or their owner's territory.

Yep, that's why I'm not treating this lightly. If they would do that what else would they do? they are proven them selves to be a bunch of immoral bastards already this is just the frosting on the cake.
Since we have established that these creatures are not decent people on the verge of starvation and death from hypothermia and are common lowlives, treat them accordingly.

I had to google. Those are georgous dogs. My girls are about 130 and 120 lbs. You wouldn't believe it by looking at them but they extremely are agile and athletic. Serious as heart attacks and meaning business when around strangers. They should be secured and not running loose however.

build a small shed for your wood, you can build an 8x12 shed pretty cheap, put a good lock on it, and set some signs up like this one...
That reminds me of the sign that says:
If you are found here at night, you will be found here in the morning.

Re: Just Caught my Neighbor Stealing my firewood
I was speaking with several associates about your problem hillbilly and they've come to the conclusion you got to fight fire with fire, so to speak. Now it will cost you a couple of grand up front but the return on your investment is about a year, give or take.
First, buy and install a nice cheap solar panel array and a windmill and tie them in into the grid so that your electric company pays you when your meter is running backwards. Next, send your neighbors a "winning" gift certificate to a hotel about 2 - 3 hours away valid only on a specific weekend. Rent a ditch-witch and be on the ready when your neighbors use their hotel gift certificate. You might want some friends to help, maybe have a bbq for them after work is done. Run a 220 volt line (instead of a 120) from their electric panel (be sure to use a dedicated breaker) to your solar/windmill electric meter. Now after you tie their electricity to your meter you'll start getting checks from the electric company every month instead of having to send them one. And the nice thing about this plan it's energy efficient and 24/7/365 you have the satisfaction of knowing whatever amount of firewood they may pinch from you they're helping the solve the energy problem.
