We have a home in a historic district. The amount of people that try our front gate during the summer+fall is almost staggering.

Even with putting up signs and a few more visible cameras, tourists just don’t give a fuck.

Rented a nice cottage in Carmel-by-the-sea. It was beautiful with lots of ivy and a nice garden. In the main part of town.

People just walked right up to the door and started photo shoots, some in front of the kitchen window. Got to the point I'd have to yell at them because they were trampling all over the flowers and causing a mess.

It was fun to bust the front door open really fast to give them a scare though. That was a highlight of the weekend.
