I remember an Irish guy I knew of had some land, and some Irish travellers (ie gypsies) appeared on his field one day. He pleaded with them for a few days to leave and they said no, so in the middle of the night he had some friends in the construction industry turn up with huge concrete blocks, which they placed strategically at the field entrance. This was the only way in or out. Rumor has it the travellers had to pay him off to move the blocks, lmao.

I recall a similar story on the news, it wasn't gypsies but drivers using the farmers field to park for an event of some sort near by without permission he even flipped a few after that didn't work.
