I disagree...
You ARE very rude and if there is a "No trespassing" sign around, you are also a criminal!

We've had this discussion before. "Trespassing" means to cause damage, and I think New Hampshire is a "Free Range" state. (Except for chickens, where it IS criminal!)

If you want to make your house attractive to a criminal, put up signs with "Private Property", "No Trespassing", or "Posted", and leave outside lights on at night.

OTOH, having interior lights on "variable" timers—in different rooms—will make the cottage look lived-in. This would especially discourage those with an opioid addiction, who are looking for a quick buck from stolen property.
