Never argue with an idiot.
They drag you down to their level,
then beat you with experience......

Keep the ball.

Get an attack dog for your yard.

Remember you were a child once too. Then it won't matter.

Tell them they don't need to ask - just go and get it. Worked fine for me
some years ago.

Tell them they don't need to ask and just get it without doing damage. Be
thankful they are polite enough to ask.

Some people never were children, especially if they have none themselves.

Obviously Sacha doesn't have the balls to make a stand against trespassers.

Don't you mean they never were children if their parents never had any.

Hannibal Lechter had several children........and they were delicious!!!!!

Tell their parents that you failed your CRB check.

That sounds like the best bet all round.
You might as well play along provided the kids are reasonable and not likely
to make a mess.
What would make some nervous is that kids (and builders) are blind to plants
and borders and even green houses.
Kids just run through plants without seeing them.

If fruit drops onto a neighbours land it is theirs to keep. How come the
football coming onto their land isn't?

I read recently that windfall apples belong to the owner of the tree even if
they fall on someone elses land. You are not obliged to let on your land to
pick them u however but you can't legally keep them yourself.

I think it was from a link posted on here.

That is supposed to be so, and the police are exceeding their powers
when they order people to hand things back. However, because you
are not allowed to keep your neighbour's things that fall on your
land, you can't even pick them up!

A reasonable compromise to an excessive number of balls flying over
is to refuse to stop what you are doing to return them or enable
access, and to tell them to come back at a time of your choosing.
