What is considered trespassing where you live? Have you ever had your boundaries violated? What is too close to comfort for you? What would you do if you caught someone trespassing?
Today a religious saleswoman (not sure what else to call them), stopped by and knocked on the door for a good couples minutes or so. I really had no desire to stand in the cold or be converted, so I stayed inside. Having not yet fulfilled her holy and charitable desires, she continued back down the walk, AROUND the deck, and made a COMPLETE circle around the entire house! All while with her sing-songy voice 'Yooo hooooo!!'
Obviously she is not much of a threat. I could probably both outrun and outshoot her easily, but I was floored that someone would do that! We have a path into the woods from the backyard to some of the livestock - I don't want anyone down there causing trouble with the animals, or really anywhere besides the front of the house when I am not out there with them.
How do you feel about strangers on your property?
Please - Do not make this about religion; I want to hear everyone's answers on the topic of trespassing ONLY.
