Get Off My Land You Crazy Kids!!

by Jessica Hickok on January 17, 2010

I know there is some wild Clint Eastwood movie out there with a line similar to the title of this post. For some reason it rings in my head as I recall the actor saying the line in the gruffest way possibly with his teeth clenched hard… I just can’t think of the name of that movie.

Anyway, my husband and I live on six acres of land just along the James River in Springfield. It’s a pretty piece of land (in my opinion) and it’s also very private. Therefore we also get our fair share of trespassers looking to get to the river or just for a quiet place to make out. This doesn’t scare us as it is usually just kids.

But it is annoying.

We’ve posted “no trespassing” signs. We’ve pulled up behind them in the car and put our brights on until they drove off. We’ve called the county Sheriff. And we’ve clenched our teeth.

But we may have now come up with a solution to get the trespassers off our land. Considering most of them are kids and most kids have an iPhone these days, we just changed the name of our wi-fi network.

Because when you use your device, the wi-fi networks automatically pop up asking if you want to join the wi-fi network nearest to you.  Now when you’re on our land, and you go to check your e-mail on your iPhone (or laptop or other wi-fi device) then you’re yelled at wirelessly and thru clenched teeth obviously.

Take it seriously kids, us older folks aren’t messing around.
