Don't blame it on the lawyers. Blame it on the culture of entitlement and no personal responsibility.

I came home from work a few weeks ago to find snowmobile tracks in my front yard. I live in a rural subdivision and the shortest route to get from the road to the field is to cross my front lawn, a ditch which is on my property, a row of small trees I recently planted on the opposite side of the ditch, then into the field. It was warm enough that day that the snow was melting in the ditch, otherwise the snowmobiler would have crossed the ditch and taken out some of the trees I planted. I'm sure the person that owns the field would never give permission to anyone to ride in their field, so the snowmobiler was looking for a way to sneak in away from the farm house.

Several years ago a kid I knew got decapitated while driving a snowmobile in white out conditions while intoxicated. Recently a guy I knew crashed his snowmobile while driving under the influence and killed his 7 year old son that was a passenger. He's facing several criminal charges and will likely do time.

I've had someone tear up my ditch when they got their 4 wheeler stuck in about a foot of standing water. The kid was our paper boy and usually a good kid. I "requested" he not ride on my property.

Several years later a new neighbor rode his dirt bike through a few inches of water in the ditch for a couple hundred feet then cut through my front yard tearing up the grass. I went to his place and found him washing the mud from my ditch and front lawn off his bike. He was amazed that I was upset.

I don't know what the big attraction of a ditch with a little water in it is, but someone is always wanting to ride in it, or throw stuff in it. Wouldn't bother me so much if I didn't have to clean up their mess when the water is gone so I can mow it.

I have some property about 4 hours away. A power line runs diagonally across the property. The power company had someone "trim" (mulch) their right of way. Of course they didn't put my fence back up after they cut it to get onto my property. 4 wheelers and hunters routinely tear down my no trespassing signs.

I was taught to respect other people's property. As my Dad would have said the people that are trespassing need a little "school housing". I think that means a butt kickin.
