I have to share this, I am amazed by people.....
A guy that I used to work for just bought a large parcel of property close to were I live, it is at the end of a road with a big turn around and then woods behind that.
He is planing to build some small cabins on the property in the future.
He asked if I would give him a hand on the property,
there is a creek on it and a old gold mine.
We spent Saturday posting no trespassing signs on the property and blocked the end of the road with pallets that have no trespassing signs until the contractor can get out and install some posts in concrete to chain off the access.
I was back on the property today and someone moved the pallets so they could drive back there.
I put the pallets back up, called the Sheriff to report the issue.
A deputy came out and we talked for about 30 min and he said that he would have the Department start doing patrols.
He left and I was sitting just up the road texting the owner and this Subaru drives up, lady gets out with two dogs, walks right past the pallets and all the no trespassing signs and heads out on the property.
I drive back down there, stopped her and asked what she is doing.
" oh I am going to take my dogs for a walk"
Me
Did you not see the no trespassing signs?
" yes but I am just walking my dogs"
Me
The new owner of the property posted these to keep people out of here so you can not go out here any more.
" so what are you trying to say?"
Me
I am telling you that it is private property and you are trespassing and have to leave.
" so I can't walk my dogs here?"
Me
Yes it's private property.
" but I have been walking my dogs here for 6 years"
Me
The property sold and the new owner does not want anyone back here any more.
" so does that mean I can't ever walk my dogs here again?"
Me
Yes! And if we see you out here again the Sheriff will be called and you can be sited for trespassing.
" I don't understand, it's just a big open field why can't I walk my dogs here?"
Me
Because it is Private property.
" I don't think that is right, it's just a big field there is nothing out here"
At this point I was growing tired of this conversation and told her that if she did not leave I was going to call the Sheriff and have her sited because I had told her she was trespassing.
Her answer was
"Ok call them because I want to know why I can't walk my dogs out here any more.... "
I called.
She sat there at front of her car with the dogs......
20 min later same deputy shows up and spent another 20 min explaining to her the same thing I told her....
Finally he told her if you do not leave now we are going to arrest you and tow your car.....
What the hell ?
What do these people think when they see a No Trespassing Sign?
Ugh
