Some examples can be rather silly...

In this case one might consider their legal responsibility if those 
kids step in a hole, trip over something and then require expensive 
medical treatment which becomes your responsibility even though they 
are trespassing.

Now if your neighbor were hooking up his hose to your water outlet and 
watering his lawn, filling his pool, washing his car or found someway 
to wire into your electrical box to run his household or even more to 
the point, hot wired your phone line and was making phone calls or 
using your password to log onto the internet when you weren't 
home...that would be a better example.
