I use this strategy to kill off peasants stealing with me:

- First I wait. Usually, the peasants use always the same route. So I
sit and wait and when I know where they come from, I put a building with
a knight (works, but not so good) or a tower (small or large doesn't
really matter). The only important thing to take care of are these:
Put the building/tower at some distance of your warehouse/HQ. Otherwise,
the knights don't have enough time to kill the intruders before they
reach the HQ and begin to steal.

- Raise the agressiveness (klick on the knight on the building and
raise the 40% to 90%). This way, knights leave the building when
some enemy walks by instead of sitting and watching.

- Be sure to have some knights on the warehouse/HQ itself. Then, they
come out or kill the thieves when they enter the WH/HQ.

- Sometimes, it happens that a knight is just not able to kill the
intruder. This is dangerous because of two things: First, the intruder
can loot and second, sometimes, the knight will follow the intruder
into enemy land and being killed there. To avoid this, you have
two options: Always check what your knights do or if you see that
a knight can't cope with an intruder (he runs into them for several
times but can't hit them), select a building with a better knight
(eg. a black knight), call him out, select him and then right-click
the intruder. The better knights walk faster and kill better :-)
