"Weed Guarding Gator Dies"
Here in Texas if you want to guard something, most people get a gun or a dog, some even get both. That seems like a fairly logical way to keep unwanted people from trying to take your stuff, or in some cases just keep people away from your property for whatever reason...like the neighbor kids who knock on your door and sell you candy they never deliver, or ask if you have any money when you open the door.
