A chain link dog lot costs about $200 to $300 and can be locked. Put the dog house in it, and keep it locked, even if the dog is not in there.
Get No Trespassing signs, and post them around, especially at any place it seems the person is getting into the yard. Put one on the dog lot.
Talk to the neighbors, explain what happened, and see if they have any similar issues. Then all can report to the police. There is safety in numbers.
If possible, watch for this person to come into the area, and take photos or video of everything he does.
Watch that child like a hawk. Better safe than sorry.
