As soon as they have the labeling or signs and fence it is pretty much sufficient, there's a barrier and a warning.
You are never going to be able to completely secure an area from someone that wants to break in, unless you call in German security experts, install non lethal minefields and have it patrolled 24 hours a day by guards with 200 pound steroid enraged German Shepard.
I tend to think that if the COP got sued for this and lost it would set an incredibly dangerous precident that if you commit a criminal act such as b+E that the home or property owner is responsible for the criminal.
Therefore instead of stealing stuff, I would merely have to break in, do a quick health and safety inspection and then intentionally break a leg or an arm. I could literally sue for hundreds of thousands or millions if I'm smart which is probably easier then stealing the equivalent value is computers, TV's or other personal property.
