I've seen plenty of people put large rocks (the size of maybe a melon or a baseketball) along the front of their yard to prevent people from parking on it.
Video camera to capture the license plate. Call the police and report a "leaving the scene of an accident involving property damage". Hire the world's most expensive lawn service to fix the problem. If the police blow you off when you file the complaint, take the driver to small claims court along with their insurance company. We all know what that insurance surcharge would look like. It wouldn't stop it from happening but that driver wouldn't ever do it again.
I once had a neighbor who left those orange driveway stakes along the edge of his lawn all year round to prevent people from walking on his lawn. It would work to keep cars off as well and wouldn't create bald spots on your lawn like big rocks would. Also if you live on a street without sidewalks, you probably don't even own the first 10 feet or so of your lawn near the street. The town owns it in most cases, but you'd have to check your town GIS map or reference the plot plan that you received at closing because it varies from lot to lot.
I'm curious to the layout of the lawn that people can regularly drive onto it.
Pretty much every lawn in Sudbury is like that (and I'd imagine most towns with population < 20,000?). The edge of the lawn touches the street because there's no sidewalk. The roads are so narrow that residential street parkers prefer to keep 2 tires on the lawn when they park so they don't get side swiped. I think OP probably has some bad luck with some vandals if the cars are driving 15 ft into the lawn which is over 2 car widths! I wonder how he made out since this thread is 5 years old.
