I’d think you’d want real, visible security cameras and posted signs. Not trail cameras.
You want to warn and dissuade.

If it's Russians stealing them, isn't there an open season, no bag limit? And if it's fellow Ukrainians using a war as cover so they can loot, well there should be open season on them as well. I don't think cameras are going to do much in the chaos of war.

ahh, well, that changes things considerably.
I'd say secure the home and forget caring about the grapevines? I mean, what can you really do besides just engaging in violence? If its russians they'll probably outgun you, if its locals, well, maybe offer to feed them?
Seems an extremely salient detail to include and a bunch of morans on TGR seems like the last resource that would have any relevant knowledge or advice.
Although I guess it does open up the land mine option.__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________

Pussies. People aren't going to walk over a dead body to steal plants.
Rent a bunch of fake corpses.
Where? Well the dapper cadaver of course.

Yeah, “spring gun” is an immediate lawyer bell ringer. After reading the fact pattern for Katko v Briney on one of my first days of law school, I thought that old man Ed Briney was totally on to something. Turns out, much to my dismay, you can’t boobytrap your own shit.

This is a war zone. Too subtle and easily missed.
Heads on pikes spaced out every 50 yards however, might send a clearer message. Add signage stating "Russian grape thief" and "Free dinner and handies for Ukrainian soldiers at the farmhouse" And attach some of those shiny foil strips to it to discourage the crows.Wait, how can we trust this guy^^^ He's clearly not DJSapp

While the Geneva Convention says no punjis, this may be a good time/application? A lot less noise than spring guns.
If it were me, I'd buy a paintball gun, get drunk and stay up late operating in the shadows.

The Russians took the home with a rather unfortunately located tank. Fortunately they retreated a few weeks ago from the area (they stole the tractor’s battery after burning down the house.)
Now we are dealing with some traitorous scumbags. I suspect it is the same gang of people. Before the house was on the property they would come steal carloads of apples.
They saw them one night driving away with the entire backseat full of apples and probably the trunk. One night they had to abandon the car there too in the midst of another theft of apples (POS junker.)
Anyways, since the house is gone, the asshole traitors think it’s open season on the fruits again.

Got any of these laying around? I'm sure they could take out a car full of thieves.

It's seriously shocking to me that anyone can steal food without significant risk of poisoning over there right now. Seems like a really basic form of resistance that just conveniently happens to flow over to looters. Gotta be some form of noxious (to humans) spray-on that can be applied to, say, the first vine or every third apple and just remember to wash stuff down at/before harvest? Battery guts? Maybe bear spray or a strong diuretic if it's not actual orcish hordes?
And no, I don't have an anarchist cookbook handy or anything--but I did watch Breaking Bad again lately. Could be a problem.

X2 on not putting your dog in harms way.
My buddy from College had this problem in SoCal and his dad would have him sit in a blind and hit em with Rock Salt.
Those silent driveway alarms would help.
