There is a more simple solution. If it's not your house, don't use its dummies.

What's wrong with this? I wish i had neighbors who come to visit and stuff like that. But my ward feels like a ghost town. :(
If you leave a dollar bill on a park bench someone you likely don't know will pocket it. If you put up a training dummy in your make believe yard someone you don't know WILL use it end of story. Don't put it out publicly if you don't want others using it that's just life and that's not negotiable. There is a reason you don't see trampolines and pools in peoples unsecured front yards.
That's not really a fair way of looking at it. If you leave your door unlocked and somebody walks in and takes your TV, they're still committing a crime and will get in trouble if caught. For a lot of house owners it's just more convenient for them to put a dummy out themselves to practice on but I can definitely see how annoying it can be to have someone constantly there 24/7, especially if you play with the sound on. So the people using other's dummies should consider being respectful of other's boundaries. If you're asked to stop using that dummy, just stop lol.
There is nothing fair about it that's human nature, if you leave it out in the open and the public can use it just assume someone at some point will use it without your permission. Try to fight it all you like you'll loose every time, there's always at least that one person that pushes the boundary's. If you don't want others using it secure whatever it is. Sitting on your front lawn is not secure...
I was so sad to see this post. Most wards are so dead, your lucky if you run across another person and the few that have people - people complain!! Soon you can have a chance to move - otherwise send them to my house - Id even feed them.
