That would explain the initial fluster of your husband when he sees this guy on his lot. "How did you get in here," I imagine he was wondering...

From now on maybe do this: pull up to the gate, check up and down the street that there's nobody hanging around, unlock the gate, pull the truck in just past the gate, put the truck in park, get out and close and lock the gate, and only then go about business. Maybe even take down the "no entry" signs, as they may contribute to a false sense of security which then leads to the gate being unlocked 1% of the time.
