There still is the squatting stuff, but never actually had that problem - yet.
Yea.. folks can be "persuaded" in most instances to move on without violence, but it has been known to have some heavy arms to help in the decision - but seems that's rare.
Last time I had a problem it was some scamming idiots who were apparently "real" surveyors who were travelling around trying to find land they thought they could "just plot" and sell off to unsuspecting tourists
Four entered our land and cut some chains on gates etc and had started plotting areas (sticking pins in the ground) in potential prime ocean view plots. Our own security spotted em first (tho had no idea of how many etc) and I asked a few neighbors if I could borrow their security for backup and some offered their own bodyguards. They were just scammers, but some were armed - their arms were removed and "lost" and only one got "mouthy" and wanted a "discussion". One large and very polite bodyguard smashed his face in and then they left. The police know of them already and not sure if they are still walking or in prison.
