The gates can't come fast enough

Ugh, in the last few weeks, these are the people we've caught in our yard:

A woman walked up our driveway all the way past the house into the backyard. She was looking for a rear house on the neighbor's property. I hope she didn't leave footprints on our new grass!

A guy was gleaning recyclables from the our trash while it was still on the side of the house. He walked across the front lawn and into the side walkway and took a seat on our stairs while he went through the trash. I don't mind people taking our recycling, but it's not okay to trespass well into someone's yard to do it.

A woman walked right up to the side of the house at 3 a.m. to put something in our trash

These are just the people we've caught in the last few weeks - I don't even want to think about all the people we haven't caught in the 19 months since we've owned the house.

The crew was here today working on the new side steps.
