Wow, some of you sure are bursting to expose your ignorance (and I don't mean the OP, although he seemed initially reluctant to believe the advice given "Surely you jest?").
It has been said over and over again that common sense isn't very commmon sense in California and the exemplar of that is that your property can still be public property. At least, that's the way the courts here see it. Doesn't matter if you don't like it, doesn't matter if your dictionary says different, anywhere the public has access, it does not matter who owns it, can be treated as public property. The only way to be safe is behind a locked, or at least lockable, barrier. (fence with lockable gate, your front (or garage) door or where ever else you can ban public acccess).
And p5Ret, try looking up People v. Overturf and the court case a while back involving one of our members, Theseus. Play silly games and ignore case law, win stupid prizes.
