[quote=Anonymous][quote]I don’t understand people who let their kids trespass on the property of others. I teach my kids to stay on the public sidewalks and not to walk through other people’s yards. I want them to respect the property of others. [/quote]

This, exactly.

I was raised to not use other peoples' things without asking first.  This includes property.  I totally understand OP's frustration, and I am amazed at how many people here are not bothered by the idea that people are trespassing on OP's yard.  Some are even suggesting that OP should pay for extra insurance while allowing the trespassing.

That said, the sprinkler and fence are passive-aggressive.  OP should be direct and ask the kids nicely to stop trespassing on his yard.  Failing that, he should talk to the parents.  Failing that, a fence might be justified.

OP is, of course, free to allow people to use his yard, but he obviously doesn't want to do that, which is his right.   Not sure why so many people here fail to understand that.[/quote]
