Unfortunately a For Sale sign on a nice home will attract the curious, most of whom could not afford the home; they are just nosy!

A couple of years ago I installed several cameras which monitor my driveway, walkway and entryway as well as my yard. I can watch the action on my mobile phone, on my television at home or on a computer anywhere. Two weeks of time are taped, 24 hours a day. Since I am away almost half the time I feel more at peace. I know the OP is moving away but for a few thousand dollars she could get cameras installed along with some warning that trespassers will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. As a bonus she may discover cameras are indeed a selling feature!

I realize the covenants prohibit signs in yards and permit only a for sale sign of restricted size in a window but what I see elsewhere are "Do not Contact the Occupant" and "By Appointment Only" notices on for sale signs.

Confrontation can be dangerous but taking their pictures with your cell phone may drive them off.
