    Whatever you choose to do, do you have security cameras that will pick up the driver's reaction so that we can all have a good laugh at the video? :rotfl:

    Seriously, I sympathise because I have the same problem with people repeatedly parking in our car park and then walking into the city centre. Most stop once we've pointed out their error, but one or two are repeat offenders and it's very annoying. It would be extremely tempting to just lock him in and serve him right!

    Put a very clear sign on the gates saying the dates the gates will be closed between and keep them closed as much as you can to try and stop him sneaking in. And definitely mention the situation to your local Bobby - I have an email address for ours so perhaps you could email yours and make them aware of the situation. Then at least you can lock the gates with clear conscience that you've done the best you can to avoid locking him in.

    I wouldn't put a sign up saying when you're closed. You shouldn't need one anyway. I'd just keep locking the gate and hopefully he'll be caught in some time that you're there to (eventually) let him out.
