I think I've seen it all, about a 1/2 hour ago, a car full of women of a darker complexion, came up to the end of my lane, in plain view, blocked my driveway off, one got out, opened the trunk, went over beside my tarped over ford tractor which is at the end of the lane, where it meets the driveway and started unloading bags of trash, garbage or who knows what was in those bags. I went to my porch, got their attention, hey.... do you mind not dumping garbage on my land please??? I then said thank you. She picked up the bags, loaded them into the trunk, said it was all picked up, then said thank you, then they took off.
To think this was once a farm field, serene with a nice view, pasture, hay and crops.
People want to do things like this. Well, its time for hidden surveillance, its unreal what people do today in broad daylight. I've got an elderly mother to look after here, if she was out there and someone like this showed up and was not so nice about it, I'm not here.... easy prey. We have an epidemic of heroin users, no shortage of theft, sooner or later it comes your way eventually.
I have no choice but to beef up security, thankfully I have a company that does that adjacent to the land here and I know many of their crew and owner, time to discuss surveillance now.
Funny thing was that they passed right my garbage can, its the kind the truck picks up and there is room. If someone asked, I'd be inclined to help, but today that is just enabling them.
What bugs me, is what connection could there be with a criminal element, had I reamed them out, when do the bad guys show up.. have to consider that with a city 3 miles away. So diplomacy has merit here, sure I'd have liked to sent some rock salt their way!
So I was cool about it, biting my tongue though.... when they left, the trees and neighbors got an earful LOL !!!
So the fun part of this post again is, what would you do? (keep it civil) Trust me, this gets me highly agitated, people are so disrespectful lately.
What have you experience with something like this and how did you handle it?
Funny how it comes in 3's. Just like funerals.
Had to shake up the neighbors at the other farm, myself and three brothers who look after it or are there whenever needed. Had to post and re-establish the lines, then 2 days later I've got a stuck joy rider here, now people dumping garbage right on my lawn.... well it could be a lot worse, just highly annoying at times.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
