I'm sorry, some may find it silly or arrogant or whatever, but no way would I let some gutter trash run me off from my PAID FOR house and property. Something would have to be done. And while I realize that some people may get their panties in a wad at the slightest mention of retaliation, there comes a point where, if the LAW will NOT PROTECT or HELP yu in any way, then sometimes you might just have to help yourself. Is it the moral "high road"? No, but do you wait till it comes to the point where they catch your wife or kids home alone and burn the house down around them, or cut your brake lines, or some other terrible thing? And to say kids can't do that stuff is just assinine.
Put your foot down, one way or the other, and do what you have to do to protect your family and your home. PERIOD.

Your logic is flawed logic...and you obviously know it because you apologize for it right off the bat. It is also apparent that you haven't had to face the same situation that our friend here is experiencing because you are so free and easy to dispense with the "HIGH ROAD" approach and suggest taking the "LOW ROAD" instead. It is precisely because our friend can NOT be there all of the time that this is such a problem. It's easy to suggest doing something illegal when its not you risking prison or bankruptcy.
So, yes, your approach is precisely what you called it: silly and arrogant. And to suggest that our collective panties are in a wad over retaliation is further proof of that. Two wrongs never make a right, my friend. This is a man's property that were are talking about...where a man has his fortune and family wrapped up.
Ibfestus made the argument most clearly: when the terrain is unfavorable, then find better terrain...especially when it's where you intend to lay your head.
