Woke up to a man sleeping in my yard

[Anonymous]

Consider putting up a fence and some security cameras.

Good lighting is also a deterrent. We also NEVER leave any door unlocked, all first floor windows are alarmed, always double check cars at night.

If it's just a matter of keeping weirdos out of your yard, you can buy no-dig fencing that is not permanent at a big box store, stick in front of the arborvitae and it might just be enough to persuade him to go to someone else's yard: https://www.lowes.com/pd/No-Dig-Actual-3-8-ft-x-4-7-ft-Grand-Empire-XL-Black-Steel-Pressed-Point-Decorative-Metal-Fence-Panel/1000864882

Police told us the best defense is a dog.

LMAO. Defund those police.

I had a friend who was a longtime criminal defense lawyer with PDS, and he also said that, based on his client's information, dogs are the best deterrent. They are unpredictable and at least career criminals like predictability. Unclear whether the random person camping in your yard thinks the same way.

Beyond dumb suggestion.
Poison food given to dog. No more dog.
Axe or shoot the dog, no more dog.
Also most people simply are not frightened by a single dog. Now 10-20 wolves, rotweillers over 100lbs, etc. sure, that's dangerous. One dog, nope.

You think criminals carry around poison in their pockets to give to dogs?

You think someone planning a break in or to do someone harm doesn't case a place out? First thing they do is plan a way to take out the dogs, alarms, lights, etc.

You CANNOT possibly be that clueless. Just wanting attention trolling huh?

No, you’re the one that’s clueless. Someone casing the place is going to see/hear/discover there is a dog and change their mind and go somewhere else.

It’s not that hard. Are you always so irrational and angry?

Funny. Whatever. Dogs in your mind are invincible amulets apparently, and your irrational reliance on that magical ridiculous amulet is getting tiring. YDY.

Have you ever actually dealt with break-ins?

Much of my family lives in a country that makes Baltimore look like The Hamptons. So yeah, I have experience and know much more than you obviously from your silly remarks.

I would’ve brought out an air mattress and water bottle for the man

Then tell him he has been hired as your nighttime security guard.

Plot twist, hire him to go out and bring back things for you each night. Wack up the goods and have a fence buy them.

I suggest meeting up with that OP to capture the bird and let it loose in the trees where the mentally ill/drug addict/drunk/criminal is sleeping in the yard. Problem solved!

Now let us have an academic exercise: you take offense at someone crossing a border into your area. Multiply this by millions and you will see why Trump was elected to do something about our borders.

Seeing a lot of talk and some high profile deportations, but doesn't look like he's doing much.

This is a good idea.

I would get a pit bull and let him sleep outside.
