Sounds to me as if you have a very nice looking birdcage. However, it is rude of people to be walking in your yard and looking in.
You did have some input on this, though, as you decided where to purchase your house and you decided next to a sidewalk.
Still, I agree with you it is extremely rude.
Bucco is also right when he says that it looks as though manners of full-time, seasonal, and renters have changed over the years. I do not consider it disrespecting my space if someone turns around in my driveway, but sure would if they looked in my windows or crossed my yard.

Very true we had input on where we live, but so did the OP as they walk through their yard/s, so do those on golf courses as they get their balls or hit them in the yard, sidewalk lots, end driveways in villas as turnarounds, corner lots where dogs go, and on and on. It STILL does not make it right and is extremely rude. But than again, I attribute it to the few that decide they are entitled to do so, and their manners. It is just a part of here. I have been all over this country in my travels and still have not found it as prevalent as here. AND.. Yes I like it here and the few won't ruin it for the many. Just grin and bear it. Life goes on. But, for fun, we still have the game we play sometimes for a day on how many rude, self-centered acts can be performed here.
We should start a thread on here and see who comes up with the most. lol
