Wanna know why? (Hint: not actually vampires. Or zombies. My dead people have far too much class to come back in either format.)
It's because, if you don't have some sort of hours posted, you can't have the cops come and haul people away for trespassing if they're up there drinking (or doing something else inappropriate) in the middle of the night, unless someone who is a legal owner or manager of the property witnesses the trespass and calls law enforcement (which in our case would mean the witness phoning me at home in the middle of the night and me hauling my butt out of bed to go chase drunk guys in the middle of the night. Not part of my brief, thanks.)
But if it's posted, and one has a trespass order on file, the neighbors can call and complain to the PD directly, and the cops can show up and shine their flashlights around and haul people off to the clink.
It's because Edward Cullen and Bella have been hanging out in there gushing about each other and swinging from trees. No one wants to witness that. Blech.
What is the matter with Mary Jane? She's perfectly well and she hasn't a pain, And there's a lovely, nice vampire in the park again-- What is the matter with Mary Jane?
I think this placard was not only for the vampires but also any terrible creatures. Because it's the "ghost month" in the Chinese calendar, most people avoid going out anywhere dark and gruesome. :p
peaceful
Congrats, BTW!
