The point I was wanting to make, and I'll drop this issue-- is that we do NOT
live in a civilized culture.  We live in a culture where every day of the week
people are murdered for their pocket change, or for fun.  We live in a culture
where meth-heads come on to your land and steal everything that isn't nailed
down (then steal the things that are nailed down, like power lines, and ripping
apart air conditioners for copper) for a cheap fix.  We live in a culture where
people face home invasions, where the home-owners are tied up, beaten, tortured,
and often killed for whatever small amount of money can be extracted from them.
We live in a culture were guns are cheap, easily avaialible, and there are
people who place no value on human life.

This happened a couple of counties away from me not long ago:

So, no, being concerned about strange men wandering around on your land isn't
crackpottery-- it is realism.
