I would follow this idea however as I am on the first floor I am afraid they may go walkies before I can enjoy them.
Think of it as a chance to practice your detecting skills, the snow should give you a headstart in tracking the miscreants. Or set up a snow pit in front of the beers to lure in thieves so you get sport and chilled beer - what could be better?
I hang beer out of the window in a plastic bag to cool down in winter lol![]()
