OP here. He is not elderly, he still works full time. I believe at FT Belvoir. And his kids were right there watching, just from their own yard. I introduced myself to them, they walked over to the fence to say hi and they seem nice.

I would have been pleasant but said

"Hi, can I help you?" And walked him back to the gate and let him out as you chit chatted. And locked it behind you. And stared at him as he left.

Most people don't put locks on their gates. It would be a pain to remember to take it off on the days that the lawn service comes.

It's funny how when people hear the term "Grandparent," they automatically assume a Senior Citizen.

Snoop Dogg is a Grandfather.
Tamra Judge is a Grandmother.

These people are far from elderly in my opinion.

OP:
Let the Grandfather know that while you would love for his granddaughter to enjoy your swing set, due to having a canine who also utilizes your yard, you would feel just awful if anything ever happened to her.

Then install a padlock on your gate.

OP, they shouldn't be there, for the liability reason alone. Don't feel bad. But do give us an update with what you do!

How tall is your fence, OP? At first I was picturing a tall privacy fence, but your additional comments make it sound like a short picket or chain fence. If that is the case the 3.5 year old probably saw it abs was the instigator as a PP mentioned. If it is a 6ft privacy fence, it is doubtful that was the scenario.

That might be true but most people would tell their three-year-olds that they can't go play on the neighbors equipment. I just can't imagine seeing something in somebody else's yard and helping myself to it. Original poster, I have a suspicion that they do this a lot more than just once. They probably do it all the time and this is the first time you've noticed it .

This. Inappropriate. To say the least. Boundaries?

Last night I returned Hime at 10:00 pm after a ling say at work. Elementary ages children were playing at my driveway and would not move. I had to park my car down the street and walk to my house. I called the inn-emergency police number and the dispatcher tried to bully me by saying I don't try to make the kids mice and they were just having fin on Labor Day weekend before the start of school. I explained they would NOT move. She then sent a cruiser to sweep through the street. The little brats then broke off several plants as they were ordered out by the police.

I am so s going to move and rent the house to a section 8 family. A large section 8 family

You didn't get out of your car and ask him to move or you didn't honk the horn and slowly drive up your driveway? I have a hard time believing they simply would not move. More like you saw them you didn't ask him to move?

Yeah, this didn't happen. Nobody without autocorrect would park on the street and walk to their own driveway without pretending to try to run the kids over and/or yell "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY" first.

they may never come over again, so I wouldn't make a big deal out of it. just lock your gate, and put up a "beware of dog" sign.

OP is it VA? Can't you hust shoot them?

OP here. Fully fenced. He had to open gate to get in.

Beware of dog sign. It's kind of hard to switch your decision now, though.

Times a million. This is the worst. Tell him he is welcome any time and then comes online to complain and thwart future appearances. Amazing.
