New Owners of our House

So here's a question for you all...

I awoke from a nap on the couch yesterday while James was at work to the door bell. I was kind of in a daze. I just ignored it as I'm thinking - who is at my house - I'm not expecting anyone. (yes we get enough people selling stuff at our door that I really didn't want to go see who it was with my nap hair).

Now that I was so rudely awaken, I decided to get up. There was a strange car parked in front of the house but neighbours always park there I thought. I go to the kitchen and there's an older couple in my back yard, with a measuring tape. The new owners I'd presume? So I just went out there...that's who it was and what was said to me? "Oh we rang the door bell and no one answered so we assumed you guys went away for the weekend." So I'm thinking, just because I didn't come to the door (which I wouldn't have done if I was downstairs or in the shower cause I wouldn't have heard it) I can expect to anytime have complete strangers in my back yard just cause you thought we weren't home? Do you happen to know that's called TRESPASSING? Apparently you don't know how to use this thing called a telephone to let people know or ask permission to come by first? It's not your freakin' house yet. Do you see me breaking into the back yard of the house of the people in Regina we bought the house from? Nope, we sure aren't.

We have a right to think this is not right. Are they coming in while we are away at work? What if we are away on the weekend? That does not give them the right to just come into our yard. Just because James & I are passive people will we do something about this? If we don't say something to our real estate agent will they think it's ok to come by and do this whenever they want?

Arg. All I ask for is some common courtesy.
