You say part of your front yard is fenced 3 foot high - fence the rest!
I have a 6 ft fence around the back and side yard and a 3 1/2 footer around the front - I usually hang an open padlock thru the front gate - no one comes into my yard - it helps to put a dog bowl by the front porch too.
I'm thinking of getting a beware of dog sign for insurance/lawsuit purposes but since I have bassets its not really necessary.
Otherwise I'd have real estate agents knocking on my door every day not to mention those guys that get hired to stick flyers in your door jam - now all that junk gets left by the gate. I've seen the kids who sell candy being dropped off by the van (this is a scam you know) and they knock on every door on the street but they don't come thru my gate.
No missionaries ever - although the LDS that I've met in the past (previous residences) were always super polite and nice --- now if a thief was smart he'd canvass the neighborhood wearing a white short sleeve shirt and riding a bicycle!
