Problems with Trespassers

[MarkV]

Very good response! I am glad to see the local authorities stepping up. Just speculation on my part but I'd bet this isn't the first time they have heard the name of your problem person.

Update. I got an email yesterday morning from the deputy that responded when they were riding the chopper in the field. He has taken the pictures thst were on my game camera & the survey/deed to the property to the County Attorney. Charges are being filed & a warrant will be issued & be ready to be served on Monday. So I guess we will see how things go from here.

I really hope this works out for you. Keep us posted.

I had problems with one of my neighbors a few years ago. My neighbor thought part of my property was his. It can be very frustrating. After a while both sides had lawyers. I did spend $5k-$10K on legal fees. I haven’t totaled all the bills.

I like the game cameras or web cameras. I also like that you try to document what happens with photos or video and take it to the sheriff.

It was unfortunate that I had to spend the money to fight my neighbor. But in the end it was settled, we just ignore each other now, and I haven’t had more problems with that neighbor.

These don't always turn out for the worst case. I am hoping in the end this works out well for you.

Please remind me (as I don't remember), do the PITA people "own" the neighboring land...or are they just being PITA people (who have USED the land)?

Own if my memory serves me correctly.

Great for you. Please keep us informed.

Boundaries can be a pain whether rural or city. Good surveys, good recorded deeds, and good fences may not make good neighbors but at least they define where things fall on the face of the earth.

I just had one of my city lots surveyed. The house to the east was just purchased by "Mark". When I was talking to Mark he said how he wanted to widen his driveway to the property line, which he assumed was several feet into what I assumed was my lot. I got the survey done ASAP and they marked the boundary line and set a nail 6 inches inside of Mark's present driveway.

Don't know what we are going to do, but my wife, a Real Estate Attorney figures we are safe he won't be widening his driveway. I was going to drill thru the concrete of his driveway apron and put in a fencepost but she said hold off.

Maybe sell him a 2-3 foot strip?

Not likely. I was a little put off by his brash way of telling me where the property line was before he knew.
I don't much care for people that have the attitude "what's your is ours, and what's mine is mine".
