Wow, am I ever glad to have Rednecks for neighbors. Everything can be settled over a few beers in the backyard. Or if we drink enough beer, forgotten about.

Just waiting on the legal system. Wife is going to call the prosecutor's office today. The neighbor has not finished the fence yet! Wife believes the sheriff has convinced her to stay off our property!

Is there some reason as to why you can't recoup your legal fees and time spent defending yourself and property from lawsuits and damage brought for no reason ?

The first go around when she tried to steal my property was a civil matter. We live in a no fault state! So after spending $30,000.00 plus in legal fees all I'm entitled to is $400.00 from her. It is 12 % interest until she pays me.

Now this, is all criminal! Different set of laws. So I'm very interested in how it will turn out. That POS fence she put up, isn't going to cut it! I paid to have that barbwire fence installed, it was 1-foot on my property, that is what is going to be put back. Or I'll be talking to a lawyer about suing her!
Right now I'm working on being patience, and let the law do it's job.

I think you are doing the right thing. If you had livestock on that property, you'd need a very good fence and you'd need it now. I think the lady needs an attitude adjustment. Currently, she's already done enough to get locked up, though I think that's not likely unless she makes overt threats to you physically or attacks you. The truth is that jails are too full of killers, molesters, and drug dealers for them to worry about locking up an old lady who has torn down a fence and trespassed. Even with a fine and a judgement, you may never collect. That's just the way it is. I think she'll always be a pest.

Here are a couple websites I found interesting. The sheriff also added criminal trespassing, but it doesn't have a lot bite to that law.

RCW 9A.48.080: Malicious mischief in the second degree.

RCW 9a.20.021: Maximum sentences for crimes committed July 1, 1984, and after.

Just wow.

I gotta go bake all my neighbors a pie. They're pretty awesome, and I don't think I'm thankful enough for it.

Amen! I feel the same way after reading this!!
