Regarding the value of the berries, how do you know that they only took the ones you know about? They could have been coming much more than you know, and they could have damaged your berry patch (although you might have noticed that if they did).
perhaps you want to plant some poison ivy under the fence line? LOL, not really but seeing the photos gave me that idea...
Maybe send them a nice certified letter informing them that they have been identified stealing berries and trespassing and that the evidence has been turned over to police. Perhaps even offering to drop charges if restitution is paid and no further trespassing occurs.
Do you have a friend with dark color vehicle with tinted windows (black Tahoe works well) that could park across street from them and appear to be taking pictures of them ("investigating")?

I would sit in a tree and try out my new rifle... I know thats insane but there is no respect no more. Want to act like trash? I will treat you like trash, Thats the way it is here.

Well, if the law won't handle it, & OP decides it's not worth pursuing legal processes, I would at least let them know in some way that you know it was them.
Ever since the trespassers at my place not only fessed up to having been trespassing but also asked permission to continue doing so, which I didn't want to grant, they've quit trespassing. I initially told them I'd let them know, but decided to just not call them back & hope they take the hint, which they have so far. Maybe you'll get this lucky. Of course, they haven't stolen anything from me.

First post on this thread was 8/02/11. If it hasn't been resolved by now I doubt it ever will be.
If it were my property and my produce the neighbor most likely would have moved to another town by now.

We can still hope for a good outcome, and if nothing else, enjoy the reading. I am still waiting on the DA's report.

We need to resolve this before the berries get ripe!

Hey guys, thanks for the continued interest. I was going to update this thread early this coming week.
Here's the latest: I had to file a FOIA in order to get the history on my case with the MSP as she wouldn't provide the information to me over the telephone. I found that they did not pursue this as a criminal complaint because I was supposedly unable to provide them with the value of the berries. I was told that they contacted the prosecutor's office and it was their decision. However, when I called them myself there was absolutely no record of any conversation whatsoever. I even asked them if it was possible that an informal call was made without a record being made and was told there was no way that could have happened. After I got this information I was basically fed up with the handling of the case by the MSP and wrote a letter to the thieves myself.
I sent it registered mail (I have a delivery receipt) and told them that I knew they stole berries and trespassed on my property last summer and said that I saw two courses of action, one private the other official. I asked them what they propose we do about this and gave a deadline that has now passed.
My next step will be to visit with the MSP in person and get them to follow up on the case. I plan on doing that sometime this week when my schedule permits.
