No Trespassing? No Shit!

Seriously. I find it confusing and oddly annoying when I see obviously occupied houses displaying signs that say "No Trespassing". No shit. It's like publicly proclaiming "please do not rob me." Like someone is going to walk up to rob you and be like, "oh, we're not supposed to trespass here, put your 9 away, we won't be busting a cap here tonight". WTF?!

 I have also noticed that 99% of the houses displaying these signs are houses I wouldn't approach, even if I was armed and/or invited.

I mean, I can see if it is a house that isn't clearly occupied, but the owner wants people to know it hasn't been abandoned...or a piece of land. But a clearly occupied home? Not so much.

When I was talking to a friend about it, she replied, "it's like an ADT sign." HA! But she was right. The "No Trespassing" sign is the poor man's "ADT" solution. NEWSFLASH...not quite the same. If you have to put up a "no trespassing" sign, chances are...you don't have anything worth stealing. Well, maybe the meth you are cooking...but don't fret, I'm not interested. 

It screams, "ILLEGAL ACTIVITY IN PROGRESS". That's it! Maybe it is like the tennis shoes on the wires outside of drug houses. It is letting the thug population know that they are among their own. Whatever it is, I think it is utterly ridiculous. 

I thought about taking pictures to accompany this blog post, but then decided I wasn't really looking to get shot. If that changes, at a later date...I will add some pics.
