I'd watch first. Quietly.

They may not realize it's private, but, they know it's not their property and they don't belong there!

Yep, having barbed wire fence around your property should be a dead giveaway that you don't want folks marching about, let alone all the NO TRESPASSING signs we have plastered around.

PLUS in MO, if you spray your fence post tops brilliant purple it's an automatic NO TRESPASSING mark that is good as a sign. I think it's called Boundary Purple or something like that in Missouri. Also some folks hang old tires, also sprayed purple on their fence posts. Good as a sign in MO.

[QUOTE=fantasymaker;6393973]Not saying the Op did wrong I am just mistified!

LOL I think you misunderstand,I think I feel the same as you but the OP seems to care a LOT about this pond , They feed the fish. They very carefully examine the area around it. Yet when they move they WONT have a pond just because of what seems a small incident.As a land owner I am sure that you have had to run a few people off,its part of ownership,perhaps not the best of it ,but a part none the less.

Hummmm seems like someone is messing with you. LOL most of the creeps would have taken the whole Camera ,they just took enough o be anonymous, I wonder why?
I Think the chains and locks will get broken into BUT I would hide a second camera really really well pointed at the first and be prepared to find your son,ex or FIL on it![/QUOTE/]

What is the big deal? It's our pond on our land, which we pay taxes on. The whole property is fenced/posted. Yeah, we feed the fish (our money), I am reserving them for shtf. I am not in love with the fish or the pond, just protecting what is ours. Not explaining anymore, either you get it or you don't. Idc
