OK this might be legit, but there's something of the chalk "Thief Marks" trope in this. I'm a country lad and know orange baler twine ends up EVERYWHERE.

Farmers warned to remove suspected criminal 'markers'
By Charlotte MoreauReporter
FARMERS and landowners in Herefordshire are being warned to look out for signs that their property has been 'marked' by criminals.
A police spokesperson said reports have been received of farm gates being marked as 'soft targets' with a single piece of baling twine tied halfway down.
Police advised that any twine found tied to a gate in this manner should be removed.
You can report suspicious incidents and suspected marking to police on 101.
