In south Florida, we lived on a beautiful lake. At times, people would come by the back of our home on a paddle boat. I didn't care for that but thank goodness, that didn't happen all that often. I would go out of my mind if I had to deal with what Bambi has said about golfers in her back (and front) yards.

How long have you put up with this? I am speechless! How rude. Why haven't you told him you do not want him walking on your property? I would have approached him about that the first time I saw him take the trek with his dogs.

Are you assuming the clod did not curb the dog? The poop was left on Gracie's property? Nah.....couldn't be so.

Yes, annoying when strangers think they can walk around. But i have had neighbors cutting through houses on my cull de sac to go see others on the street behind. Whats the big deal? Wave at me, say hello, and smile...walking on my grass doesnt upset me.

Maybee some of you come from an area where you have to post no tresspassing signs to keep the poachers away.

Sorry.....this is just wrong on every level. Yes the properties are postage stamp size. A property line is just that. It is a border of private property. Mindful people do not cross property lines.

Our mail center is directly behind our cul-de-sac. I would never think of walking on my neighbor's property to access the street behind their home to make a quick stroll to the mail center. In fact, now that I know them very well, I would not even consider asking them if it were OK to walk on their property to get to the mail center. That is just rude with a capital R. As you can see, I value my privacy and I respect other's privacy.

do you live on a championship course or an executive course? If a championship I would not ask you which of the 9 hole course you live on but only if its Palmer's Havana, etc. if you live on an executive course I would not also be so bold as to ask which one but is the course on the north side or the south side?

I asked because you describe an abuse of privacy that I have never heard in 11 years being here.

I live on a championship course and only 3 times in 11 years has anyone entered onto my property

I have talked to all the people on the street & they say NO, I can't hear the radio........ BTW> Nobody I can see on the street sit's on there front porch (not even Her) to read a book in the heat of day....

Since your neighbor did put a note on your car saying the radio was too loud for her, why didn't you do the neighborly thing and lower the volume to you hearing it yourself and not two doors away from that day forward?

Even IF the other neighbors were not bothered, she was. Be kind and lower the volume.

IF she had asked you on the day in question to please lower the radio volume (in person) would you have done it? Or would you have ignored her?

suppose a person wanting to move to TV gets a call from a friend living here and says I believe there is a house for sale that will fit your need. And the prospective buyer says can you go by the house and take a look, perhaps even some photos....just saying

How about ringing the door bell and asking if it is OK to go on their property to take photos? Yup.....common sense and common courtesy.

We have had Run-in's with this neighbor before............ Trespassing!!!!

My eyes are bleeding after reading this. You are joking. Right?

"Please never play a ball from the yard of a resident. It is also appropriate to report any damage of private property to the homeowner. We ask that you never retrieve your ball from a resident’s property."

Ah here we can revert to the discussion of we have a communications problem or the EXPECTATIONS
VIS A VIS INTENT DILEMMA .

I contend that the wide spread advertisements and selling of this home changes the status of people coming onto this property from trespassers to invitees and as such unless the homeowner in her advisement made clear that no one was allowed on the premises without a prior appointment creates a dilemma.

While I understand your meaning of call ahead, it would appear to be "common sense" by some people to deduce that since the property is for sale it is open for inspection.

Actually I would welcome people to come take a look kick the tires because I want to sell my house and I want to sell it quickly..but that's another topic.

For homeowners who have lawn service, pest control etc you have what is referred to as licensee, allowing them to come onto your property to provide the service you pay for.

People are over reacting and applying a dichotomy to this issue and in some respects its puzzling to me.

The house is for sale "for sale" begs take a look, the expectation would be some people would not want to contact the owner with any kind of commitment until they had a look, a sincere interest in the property.

If this intrusion was happening to the homeowner and the house was not for sale well that's a horse of a different color

If someone would have come in my garage and turned my radio down, I would have been ...first annoyed, and then I would think that maybe I was playing it too loud. If I lived near you and it was too loud, I wouldn't say a thing, but think maybe it was time for a hearing test.

Ironically, if this same person had a trip and fall in your garage she would have the right to sue.
