Reminds me of issues my father-in-law had many years ago.
He brought a rough block at the end of a dead-end road which gave access to the harbour and many people used this access point to get flounder.
He had no issue with people crossing his farm but expected if he was there, they had the decency to ask.
He had a few issues as he developed the place but nothing too serious until he built and new cowshed and barn. People believed the content of his fuel tanks was theirs and that used the hay barn for parties, almost burning it down. They then cut fences so that they could drive down to the shore.
After he build the house and lived on the farm, he had a few issued but most were sorted out without any incidents, however he had 2 guys who he trespassed as they were semi commercial as he caught them with 15 dozen flounder, and they almost end up in a fist fight.
These guys continued to sneak onto the farm and again cut the fences to get down to the large haul of flounder they had caught.
He started to wait out for these guys and after a few long nights when the tide was right, they visited again.
They parked their car on the side of the hill and headed off, he got the tractor and used the front-end loader to roll the car down off the side of the hill, parked the tractor and went home.
3 in the morning there was knock on the door and the 2 guys were there, as you can imagine there was a bit of discussion, with the father-in-law telling them to fu*k off and refused to let them use the phone as he was the only house on the road. It was a 5 mile walk to the main road for them to hitch hike home
The dragged the car up the next morning and left it on the road side.
After this they got the message.
