The bushfire ravaged town of South Durras has left a brutal message for looters beside their community notice board.
South Durras residents have said they will use wood-chippers, boats and even a crab pot on would-be looters.
A South Durras resident who did not want to be named told news.com.au why looters should be afraid of such a threat.
"The idea is chip the looters like you mulch branches in a wood chipper, then go out in the boat and put the chipped looter bits into crabpots as bait…" the resident said.
The sign reads: "To looters. We will not let you steal from us. If you come you will not go back. We have a woodchipper, crab pots and boats. You have been warned. We are vigilant. The South D crew."
