I know what you mean no respect for others property. I find they think if they can see no one around it is free for them. Over the past 3 years, I have also had problems. A pregnant goat shot twice with muzzle at hip and shoulder, left to die. It happened near Christmas 2011. Sheriff was called earlier in the day by neighbors, to talk with kids with a gun looking to shoot something. The new deputy spilled the beans, the other officer shut him up. Never heard more about the case.
I get blamed by people that get shocked on electric fence, when feeding my horses. I find fire circles in the woods, at times of drought. People doing high powered large caliber target practice in my woods. Tents and forts built from cutting down trees, taking down fence wire to strap them together. People cutting fire wood without permission. People shooting guineas thinking they are wild turkeys. And 4-wheelers. Also a neighbors kids picked up my survey property stakes and gave them to me.
I checked with sheriff, and installed no trespassing signs, I have the right to hold at gunpoint invaders, till the sheriff comes.
It can be worse.
