Old buses, a twisted quonset hut, piles of rusty barbed wire, junked cars etc. etc.

You don't tell people in this part of the world what to do with their property.
Your Grandpa is my new hero. If my Grandpa had had a neighbor like that, his first question would have been "Why the hell are you looking at my property?"
