Wow...I was wondering if you had actually contacted your State Farm agent to talk about this or whether you have just been receiving these letters? This seems extreme to me - no personal property allowed on your yard or porch? Is that because they are afraid that it will get stolen or because they are afraid someone will trip on it and sue?

It does seem extreme. Especially since we just have normal 'stuff' outside. Grill, picnic table, outside furniture. Our trucks. lol

We got the letter about the drive by not long ago. We didn't think much of it, because they said they would just be driving by to check the property. My dad said they want to make sure it hasn't been left vacant. So we thought, we'll let them drive by!

Then we get the letter. Now, MOST of our yard is obscured by a privacy fence. You cannot even SEE our above ground pool from the road, or even if you pull up to the drive, and the sides and back of the house is obscured totally by woods.

My husband is going to go talk to them. He's pretty hot. Someone told him that State Farm is looking to drop as many houses as they can in coastal and tornado prone areas. He thinks that is what this is all about.

I just thought I'd put the warning out to others, because when I talked with friends about it, a couple had had similiar experiences.

IF they drop us, they are fools. We are such private hermits that we NEVER have visitors other than my dad...and no one here has ever even filed a car claim, much less a house claim.
