Beginner Gardening: Anyone know of an anti theft plant alarm?, 0 by Deciva

I suspect yard maintenance people are stealing from me and other neighbors regularly.
Always seems to be after I go to bed around 4 or 5am and when I get up to help my diabetic cat at 9am the plants are gone.
Also solar lights are all gone and the thief reaches what's closest to the sidewalk or street. Takes anywhere from 1 to 3 plants at a time and I don't know when he cleaned me out of my hard to find color changing and amber solar lights
Motion detector lights only work at night and another victim installed some too with no help.
Motion alarms are too broad in their range and would pick up everyone walking by or even skunks or dogs too.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. I have a beautiful and rare garden and cops just take reports and don't do anything.
Cameras don't help when no one would see a license plate and neighbors seeing a yard worker with plants don't think twice about it. One lady lost 6 rose bushes and spray painted them at the base with bright orange. Still hasn't helped. Another put up a camera but not sure if she's had a recurrence. If I don't plant new plants every week they've already stolen rare established plants.
Can hit me 2 times in the same wk. I plant on Sunday and they hit between Mon and Wed
