What annoys me is going to a creek or river and finding a campfire place full of stubbies and cans. Don't they know that stuff doesn't burn? And then they have crapped behind every tree and buried nothing, leaving sh1t and toilet paper everywhere. Or finding fish heads and dead turtles from their fishing trip.
Thankfully I live out of town on a back road so I don't get caravaners, only poachers.

Never had free loading campers, but bloody picnickers and tourists.
I used to live on quite a sizeable farm in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland overlooking the Glass House Mountains. Our drive way was a kilometre long winding down a hill.
We had three signs along the way saying it was private property and to not come down without an appointment or unless you knew us.
I caught people walking on the driveway every week. Or they would come down in their cars and set up picnics in our paddocks and leave s**t everywhere or park across the entrance to our driveway to take photos. I used to walk out of the scrub near the driveway and scare the crap out of them. Then ask why they were on private property and if they saw the signs on the way in. A few used to get angry when I confronted them and claimed they knew the property owner and had permission to be there. Then I would be like "oh you know my grandpa Jack?" and they would always agree. And I would be like "Hmm thats weird, I don't actually have a grandpa Jack, I'll go fetch my dad and see if he knows you" They would pack up in a snap.

The old 'I know the owner' trick :lol:

Always gets given a try but I'd be amazed if anyone has ever pulled it off before :oops:

Some people are thick, aren't they!?!

Say "i now the owner" to someone questioning them about being on private property. Like, whi is going to give a toss enough to ask unless they are the owner or know them very well!??!

Idiots just trying to save face when they get caught doing what they know is the wrong thing.
