Why people tresspass

[D7E]

Tresspassing is a small problem here compared to what it was back in the uk but i really have a problem with snowmobiles . 75% stick to the gro0med trails in the country but you get the "weekenders" that ride out from the city and think any snow is fair game regardless of what crop might be under there.
Very glad to see last year the police making examples of some last year with hefty penalties locally..About time too !

Surprisingly little problems with snowmobiles considering that I ice fish and beat a trail off the lake to my back door. The only machine that ever crossed my yard was a four stroke. A week later I was fishing with a buddy and Mr 4 stroke dropped by. I mentioned the trespass, his reply was something along the lines of "uh, when was that?" He stays away now. Most snowmobiles trespass in the adjacent camp. Since the local pub closed snowmobile traffic isn't as much of an issue any more. It's just local fishermen, some of whom have permission.

Do not go gentle into that good night, Dan. Rage, rage against the ... trespassers

Believe it or not, and you should believe it, my post was even longer. I know it is hard to believe that I write up long posts. :laughing:

The second story I had in the post did Rage, rage against the trespassers.

But I cut out the story. The story was not political but I could see that within three to four posts in response to my story this thread would get locked. So I edited. :laughing:

'Good old boy' retaliation can be sever in my area so I tread lightly whenever I can. Have had people pull up and park in my drive to go fishing and tell me to my face I can't stop them because they have fished here all their life. Can you imagine parking your car next to someone's house and argue with them that you shouldn't have to leave when they tell you to?

The wonderful neighbors we had back in the city used to regularly block our mail box. And every once in a while our driveway. This was in a subdivision in the city.

They could not understand why this was a problem. I was nice about it twice......

Then the POlice got called from then on. They got lots of tickets. Well, I did not call the POlice one Sunday at 0800 when I came home from the land after spending 36 hours watching a burn pile. I woke up the drug dealer to move his girl friends car. He had some attitude that morning. I was not buying any. He left in the car in a huff. :laughing:

Good job Dan (and probably a few others too). :thumbsup: I'm also withholding details to avoid an "inappropriate tangent" to this discussion.

What about the guy that asks if he can cross you're hay field with his four wheeler to pick berries on someone elses land? I asked if he had permission to pick the berries. He said prevous owner always let him. I told him to use the road to get there, and that he needed to ask the current owner. He had the nerve to argue that it would be alright because it used to be OK. I said use the road.

Oh, I know you were joking. :laughing: No harm. No foul. I thought your post to my post was funny! :thumbsup: So I had to post to your post about my post.

To answer the question of the OP...Lack of respect for other peoples property
.

And they learn it from their parents in many cases..

I've had my fill of ATV trespassers damaging my fields. Why is it that every renter that can't afford to buy a house will have a truckload of ATV's that they think they are entitled to ride on others properties. Fortunately the ones near me have moved out (were evicted), so it has been quieter lately.

I don't know why that is either. It seems owning, or making payments on , an ATV includes the God given right to ride it on someone else's land. It's just plain ignorant that someone believes because they own something the world owes them a place to use it. It's goes far beyond ATVs too.
