Re: liability
Under the circumstances you describe it sounds like the owner of the property has no affirmative duty. The owner of the property may not do harm however to a trespasser or the property of a trespasser. There are statutes which allow the owner of property and the local law enforcement officials to remove the property. A civil action will also provide relief to the land owner.
