Need advice on how to deter people from my shed.

I have a shed about 75 yards away from my house towards the end of my driveway and this makes it a good spot for people to stop and check if it’s unlocked in the middle of the night. I have a battery powered ring spotlight cam with 2 batteries and a solar panel on it but it literally does nothing to keep people away. The camera is in an obvious place where they can see it if they are driving by and scoping it out, the light comes on when they step into range at night and they do not care, motion lights don’t seem to have the effect they used to. Like a lot of people I have the alerts silenced cause I have cats, dogs, deer, fox, possums, raccoons, skunks-every kind of wild life coming out of the woods right next to it, so it would go off constantly-yeah, thats the downside.

Any other ideas of keeping people from checking my shed? I have a huge bolted latch and lock so it will take some effort to get into it, my real goal is I don’t want a crackhead getting ballsy and coming to the house after the shed so I want to scare them off.
