That's a extremely dramatic. Of course all of that happens every day but you leave out the vast majority of the population in the country! Exaggerating doesn't prove points. Im not telling to to stop living your life as a petrified man looking around every corner. I'm telling you it's not fair to anyone who reads this thread to be reading blunt exaggerations. You make it sound as if because I haven't been wronged by someone in the past month that I'm freakishly lucky.
Sensible people in rural areas put up cheap fences and no trespassing signs in the rest of the U.S..... Unless this lady assumes that all persons are carrying land status maps and anyone on her land MUST know that they are trespassing! Oh don't forget about senility!!! Senile old lady... If she is lacking in the security department because she is a poor old lady who lives alone she should be living with family or a retirement home! I love how she pressed charges after she found out they weren't stealing any of her prized possessions. Read Aesop's The Dog and the Manger..... I'm glad someone had the fortitude to get those meteorites off that lady's land.
