   Call an animal control service. They will set up traps for them

   the only way is to put up a fence.I metre jackal wire or chicken wire,or the chick wire,and bury at least one quarter of a meter into the ground ,
   they dont jump or like to climb very high on wire.
   they are very cute though and ,are becoming endangered in many places.
   some people actually have them as pets but they carry a lot of vermin on their shells.
   their favorit food is earth worms and they raided our worm cultures.
   and the fence stopped them.
   So please dont kill them ,I know they are destructive like small pigs ,they will root up gravel drive ways ,and i let one loose in my garden ,and only one does not do to much damage , i used to see his marks all over the place.But i can imagine that in a small garden one would get to hate them very quickly.

   a small dog will deter them .but the fence is realy the correct solution.

   If one plants a garden it is only natural that the better the garden gets and the more productive and lush ,the more other aspects of Nature will apreciate you efforts,
   this is a complement if any thing else that you are making a good garden,Try to see it in that light.
   I have made many gardens for people who had nothing to start with.to convince them to put up a fence is difficult because there was originally nothing to steal and the fence is costly and work.However once a garden gets going it becomes like an open free supermarket for chickens,wildlife,cows ,horses,sheep,goats,pigs,birds and armadillos .And even people

   .And it is up to the owner to protect his investment

   and to call the cops on these little creatures,as the others suggest is the fascist,cop out solution
