When I was much younger I drove onto private property to photograph an
estate from the hilltop overlooking the place.  A security vehicle came out
and took my down license number etc.  The next day a local police car pulled
up to our house while I was away.  Seems the estate had been robbed the
night before.  I had no alibi!  Luckily, the perpetrators were caught as I
couldn't have proven I wasn't there.  I have more respect for keep out signs
now.
