They didn’t see me coming!!!
We caught someone dumping their trash in our dumpster and we rode the electric bike out quietly to see if we could find anyone. They didn’t see me coming but what happened next was freightening.

Like the farmer that lived in my neighbor. You need a carry a auto loader shotgun. And fill it with rocksalt. People who trespassed on his property to steal corn got shot with rock salt. They never came back. Rock salt burns like hell. I know. So carry a auto loader shot gun with rock salt. And when you see a trespasser shoot them. I promise you, they will not come back. Post some No Trespassing signs on your property about 30 apart. Then carry the shotgun on a sling facing down. That way you stop on your bike and pull up the shotgun and fire. If they get hit, well tuff luck. They will be burning for a few days. And if they are stupid enough to call the cops on you shooting them. They trespassed on your posted property. I used to patrol a large tract of land. It was mostly all sand with a few trees. When they showed up to there vehicles, which was connected to a tow truck, they raise hell. Then the cop asked the man, do you pay the property taxes on this property. The guy said no. Then the cop said, then your trespassing on property that does not belong to you. So you are trespassing. So your ATV and your truck will be towed to the property owners lot and he can keep it or use it. But you lost it. You trespassed on private property. The guy was pissed. A brand new ATV, he lost. Drive home in shame, after he paid the tow truck driver to lower his boom. 250.00 dollars. With in one year, nobody drove on his property anymore.
