Had a guy that owned a ton of acreage when I was growing up... if you asked you could fish his waters or use the trails. Reason you had to ask is because he was a fur trapper so he told you the areas to avoid. If you poached his land for fish or off-roading 8 times out of 10 you’d hit a trap. Lot of scummy trout fishermen calling for evac because they ran into something bigger than a varmint trap. His land, his rules and since he legally trapped and hunted the property, people who trespassed generally didn’t have a leg left to stand on legally. True story. Great guy taught me a ton of tracking skills.
My Grandpa had people (tourist campers) steal corn out of his fields at least once every year, but he never did anything to stop them and he never had a repeat offender.
Why? Because he grew feeder corn and the city slickers didn't know the difference until they tried to eat the stuff.

How do you even go and do something like that on someone else’s property?
