I live on 45 acres and my neighbor is able to use an access road from my place to get to his property. In the past several weeks, the gate to the pasture has been left open and my livestock has gotten out. Can I put a chain and lock on the gate as long as I give him a key?

If he isn't closing the gate now what good will a lock do?

Why don't the two of you split the cost & build a cattle gate? He gets the convenience of not having to open/close a gate & you get cattle that stay home. MikeD74T
I am 99% positive that he is doing it on purpose. This way if it is left open, I would know and could take action.

If he is doing it on purpose then I don't know what to say. Maybe an automatic gate closer would be a wise investment.
