There is no truth, Only a perspective.

| | | Early on in my exploring "career", my brother and i were checking out an old resort on the lake that we used to visit with our family when we were youngens. We were just walking around the outside, taking photos and climbing stuff. We hadn't even made it inside yet. No big deal. After looking around and not finding a P.O.E., we began leaving the way we came, but there was a red SUV parked on the path. We decided to take another route, but the SUV then drove to that path. This went on for a little while, and after hiding behind some bushes for a bit and making a break for it, we finally made it out and began walking down the street, back to our car. We almost made it, but nope. Little did we know, the owner also owned the marina next door, and he saw us on the property. A squad car pulled up as we were walking, and the officer had us sit on the curb while he ran our licenses. He let us know that the red SUV was the owner, and the owner was rather angry that we were trespassing. We explained there were no "no trespassing" signs and we didn't know we were doing anything wrong; only taking photos and checking out the resort we had visited as kids, blah blah. The officer was pretty cool about it and agreed, saying he didn't understand the big deal and we were obviously just taking photos.. BUT the owner wanted to press charges. What a dick. The owner even told the officer to let us know that if we wanted to come back and take photos, to ask for permission first, and it would be perfectly fine. How nice of him. Well, i ended up going to court and talking our way out of the fines, thankfully. So, that's good, at least. I even tried getting permission for the resort on two separate occasions, but the owner said no both times. Douche. This was my first (but not my last) time getting in trouble while exploring.

| | | I'm pretty new to exploring and don't have any exciting tales of being caught in buildings, but I have had a similar experience to Trackrunner's. Several years ago, I was riding my bike down a paved road through an active train yard, just taking in the sights, and I noticed a van really far away driving towards me. The driver never really told me who he was, but he clearly worked in the yard. There was no yelling or scolding involved; he basically told me that teenagers had been "pissing on the train cars" in the night, and he had been on the lookout for trouble. He then said that I didn't look like the type who would do that (I guess I looked innocent, being a dorky 13-year-old on a 10-speed), told me to be careful, and drove back down the road. I've been back since without any trouble, but it was definitely an interesting encounter.
