Trespassing signs, etiquette, good & bad neighbors

[greenmojo]

Here's what I would do to keep your dogs from 'being called' onto someone else's property:
One evening, after dinner and and your normal conversational period, grab a white board.
Sit the dogs down and have a stern discussion about not crossing the property lines, even if the fella next door offers them milk bone treats.
Pull out the deeded plats, and show the dogs where the survey lines are and describe any markers they may see to indicate location.
On the whiteboard, outline different sceanrios they may encounter.
If your dogs are one of the more intelligent breeds, you may even give them a handheld GPS preloaded with waypoints that they can reference.

There really is no excuse for any dog to be unaware of where the property lines are. I mean really.

This is excellent. At first I was thinking I might use different colors for various marks and delineations, but then realized that dogs are color blind, so I will just use labels and symbols. Great suggestion!

I simply gave my dog her own cell phone, and she texts me before she leaves the property. I tried giving the horses their one phones, but they kept texting me for food 24/7

Or a sign that indicates that all of their emmitted RF information (and RFID credentials) is captured and stored if they cross a line. Some nice Yaggi antennas (Border Crossing Style) pointed at the driveway entrance might help.

Re: Trespassing signs, etiquette, good & bad neighbors

I get a kick out of those who criticize us for wanting our privacy, safety and property secure from trespassers.
This is simple like my signs say

哲o Tresspassing
å…¸his Means You
哲o Excusses
No Exceptions
哲o explinations�/QUOTE]

For some reason, hunters chasing a wounded animal think they are an exception.

If they are too close to a property line that they can't get off two shots they need to move back.

In Texas or Oklahoma you should have one of these. (This is an old version).

So I guess someone who is lost or had an accident and is seeking help would be banned from that property as well even though they may have thought they had a legitimate reason.

Around my area neighbors help each other as well as strangers seeking help.


I can see where this thread is going to run for several pages...............

No, just one long page with the tbn app.

If I could eye-roll any bigger right now I would... very unintelligent.

The dogs would disappear at night, and the belief is that a certain neighbor to the south was inviting the dogs into his home and feeding them. He also happens to be the local pot and meth-head. The neighbor approached me months earlier, told me loved my dogs and was lonely and didn't mind them stopping in and visiting him.

When the one dog was stabbed with a pitch fork and had been fed marijuana, the Deputy visited him and he told the Deputy he had never seen my dogs, they'd never been at his place and he didn't know anything about them or what had happened. Nothing you can do about it, but keep your dogs away from them -- so like I said, the dogs don't go anywhere at all -- they live in the dog run and are only outside when the family is out or when we are working cattle or on the horses.

Good to see that you are now, keeping your animals under control. Good lesson learned?

If they are injured and find reason to come out here, they deserve to be turned away. Really what do you think we all live right next to the highway? In all honesty if your injured and my place is convenient you were already trespassing when you got hurt!

I do have one of them down on the road to the barn also.

If he had a legitimate reason to come and talk to you why shouldn't he come on to your property. He wasn't trespassing, he wanted to see you on business. Even if it was to introduce himself and say "hi, I'm your new neighbour"

Interesting situation (the OP's)

I tend to slide towards this above comment. You don't want "no treaspassing"..... you want "stay the heck away from my home altogether... unless we invite you"

My take on it is, if they are staying on the drive and heading to the door, they are not 100% treaspassers... they have a reason to do that.

I have some neighbors that butt to the back side of our farm. They've been there probably 10 years. I met the wife when I was working at her school talking to the teachers. We discussed this & that.... come to find out she's got a dock on the lake and I'm sitting there thinking "BS", there is only ONE house over there that has a dock and I'd be surprised as all "get-out" if you lived there.

Turns out, she does!

I told her I had been wanting to mosey over there over the last couple years to meet the neighbors but they never seem to be around and (the other neighbor) has their gate shut.

I'm NOT going to go past a shut gate.... but never saw signs of life so didn't do it (house was empty for 4-5 years as it had an out of state owner who was NEVER there and they finally sold it)

Anyway, she cautioned me to not mosey up to their door.... that unless her retired husband was expecting someone he would be pretty short & rude, irrespective of who you are and why you're there.

No worries.... but it dawned on me "too bad for him" as I've got some larger machines that could help him clear his drive or dig something if ever need be (they don't have stuff and are "woods bound")

Anyway, just because someone mosey's up your drive directly to your door doesn't mean they're a 100% idiot.

95% yes.... just not 100%

If you read all of this, that's 3 minutes of your life you'll never get back!

 

[PILOON]

We have no trespassing signs on either side of the gate (the gate was open), yet people still drive right through and when you mention it, they just act as if they didn't see them .

Just as bad a dog owners that look the other way when their pooches poop.

They are simply of the entitled generation.

Privileged with no respect for others or laws.

 

[paulfun9]

Define the word

Enter without permission.

Pretty simple, don’t see anything in the defanition that says unless you feel you have a valid reason, or you feel your reason overrides the actual defanition or if your on the driveway it doesn’t count!

No Trespassing means stay out unless you are given explicit permission from the owner no matter what!

 

[MossRoad]

I guess I'd just park at the gate and lay on the horn for 10 or 15 minutes until the owner came out to see what's up. Then ask for directions to the nearest town. Then come back a few hours later and do it again. When they came back out, I'd say thanks, your directions were correct.

When I was a kid, out next door neighbor was a music teacher at a local university. He also gave lessons at home. He kept a railroad tie across his driveway that had a no trespassing sign on it. So his students had to park on the street and walk up to the house. He also had keep off the grass signs. If we hit a ball into his yard, he'd walk out his door, yell at us, and take the ball inside. So we'd go up and knock on his door and he'd yell at us about can't you read the no trespassing signs and tell us to go get our parents. Our parents had to go and get the balls.

Guess who's house got teepee'd most often?

Ever see that movie, think it was it’s a mad mad world, where the lady sells squirrels and those who don’t buy get directions off he mountainside? Be careful of how you handle your vindictive attitude as you might meet someone a little slicker than you!

It was meant tongue in cheek.

While I'm suspicious of people that come to my door or that I find out on our remote property, I give them the benefit of the doubt while remaining cautious, then deal with them accordingly.

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World was 1963. No squirrel lady.

The movie was Rat Race (2001), it was Kathy Bates as the Squirrel Lady.
