You're moving the goalposts.  We weren't talking about people who
vandalize property, but about people who walk harmlessly across it
after seeing no sign.

As I mentioned, there used to be a fence between my apartment complex
and the adjacent strip mall.  I don't know who put it there or why.
Someone unknown to me put holes in it.  Later, someone unknown to me
removed the entire fence.  That was more than a decade ago.  Earlier
this evening I walked through where that fence used to be.  You'd
better have me arrested at once, along with everyone else who has
walked through there who remembers that there used to be a fence there.

Yes -- and so does the court system.
