Security also, although few home fences I've seen would be up to the task.

In Latin America, because of the soaring crime rate, most houses have either high fences (like the one in the picture) or high walls with barbed or electric wire on top. I hope it never gets that bad here in the States.

the uninvited know they are on private property and may be subject to contusions or more severe forms of bodily harm should they be observed entering or removing items without expressed permission...
