We have kids on all sides so I end up having to guess which yard the ball/toy came from based on what exactly is in the yard. I've probably given things "back" to the wrong kids many times - just come and grab what's yours!

We live at the bottom of a cul-de-sac, and the neighbour's property backs onto a busier road below us. For years prior to their buying the place kids from the neighbourhood would always walk through their property to get from the road to the cul-de-sac. The former owners didn't particularly like it, but they tolerated it because of the hassle it would require to end what amounted to a fairly minor annoyance. But this drove the new owners crazy, and prompted them to erect a big fence around the entire property behind the front driveway.
My kids know better than to ever go into their yard again, but only after so much needless drama.
