Respect the signs

As much as I get an itch to check out a place, if a no trespassing sign is posted, I always resist the urge.  Here's the deal everyone...these signs could be up for a LOT of reason.  Safety is so important when you are exploring properties.  Not only because the structures are probably not safe, but because that is someone else's land and they have a good reason they don't want you on it. 

I know that there are plenty of people out there who would say that you mean no harm, you just want to look...etc. etc. and that's all great, but it's also very important to respect the signs.  That owner may be trying to preserve the property, keep people from vandalizing it, making sure they don't get squatters in the building...there can be any number of reasons.  But the important thing here is the no matter how great the urge, resist disrespecting someone's property.  Lets just face it, some people are crazy anyway.  Do you really want to be shot at or have the police called on you?  Always seek permission before going onto private property that has clearly marked signs and even be careful when you go places without signs.  Just because there isn't a sign doesn't mean someone doesn't want you there and will make sure you get off it.  Please use good judgment!
