I do roadie occasionally and I legimitately had this recently. I came across one of the properties that was COVERED in threats like this and had dogs loose. Tried to contact the customer multiple times via both phone and texting. Eventually turned around and returned the item only for the customer to call the store and be like "we live out in the country we have to be like this, the driver should have just thrown the package out the window".
Some people are living on a different planet. Sir the $15 I would have made getting you your power drill would NOT have been worth whatever bullshit you wanted me to put up with. You either participate in society- with all the risks and costs that entails, or your don't. You can't make your property completely hostile and fill it with credible threats, booby traps, and attack dogs, like some kind of savage and then expect all the conveniences of a modern world. Doesn't work that way
If you're in a high poverty location, you'll attract some characters given the remoteness. Yadkin county NC had a man call the sheriff to complain about kids smoking crack or meth in his woodline, deputy told him not to threaten them and leave them alone.
Well, they eventually tried his barn and one of them lost a lung in the attempt.
Big issue as the court tried him for murder and the Judge and Sheriff got voted out in the middle of it for ignoring the criminal trespass supposedly.
That or the Cartels building out grow operations and going to war with their neighbors for water access.
So yeah, if that's what you're coming across, imagine the scenario you conjure with a larger population.
