clearly tresspassing, how would you deal with people coming on your property that aren't wanted? how are they getting through your 6 foot fence? is the gate locked?

My question exactly. Can you talk more about that please?

Yes, with a padlock. It apparently takes them several seconds to open it. The padlock has kept thousands of law abiding folks on their side of the fence. Criminals? Not quite so many.

here? i'd take pictures and call the police. temporarily setting up a motion sensitive very bright light so that if it is happening at night they get a bright light in the face when the get in the yard... to make sure the camera gets a good picture. ;)

get a different lock. a good combination lock. and wrap it in a good heavy wrap that will keep the water off it so it will last.

OK. Thanks for your thoughts on this, songbird.

Thanks everyone for your constructive criticism, suggestions and, in some cases, snarky yet ignorant babble. :)

I've decided to cover the entire undeveloped area with mulch. That way, my friends will see that any further contributions will be immediately visible. Hopefully that will be sufficient deterrent. I can temporarily shop vac up a spot of mulch and continue to use my post-hole digger to lift the clay into a nearby bucket until the hole drains itself.

Deposit mulch in hole to surface, rinse, lather, repeat. At some point in the distant future, I'll rent a tiller and combine all the goodness.

Whatever. See you again when my KF freezes over.

Fencing comes to my mind.

I smell a troll.

There's a six footer between the perp and my yard. Fences keep out the honest, but not criminals.

Thanks anyway. :)
