So, what number of trespassing freeloaders are you willing to tolerate before it's a problem? The questionable statistic right now is 168 caught in 5 months or around 400/year. I contend that if 400/year are CAUGHT, there are probably 4-5x as many, if not more. Is 2,000/year acceptable? What is the number that we should tolerate? How much should we spend to prevent it? All good questions, but "taking up another hobby" will not get them answered, any more than an ostrich avoids danger by burying its head in the sand.
