[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous](a) make sure that there is, in fact, no easement across your property.  Some recent (i.e., last 25 year) subdivisions DO have easements that cross private property for pedestrian access through the subdivision which were required by local zoning officials as part of the site plan.  Check your title policy AND the site plan.
(b) assuming there is no easement, go talk to your neighbor and find out the thinking.  The neighbor shouldn't be encouraging random people to cross either of your yards.  
(c) consider building your own fence[/quote]

+1 to all of this

Plus, fences don't go ON property lines. That's too risky and everyone tends to build a bit inside the line and working within existing trees in the yard. For that reason I consider cutting on property lines to be okay and no-man's land. Where we live there are even power lines so of course the power lines are an easement and people can walk along those. I would not even think twice about people at the edge of my yard, but we have big yards. [/quote]
