But in this case, people are coming on the OP property and have by his own writing, threated him and his family.

I put in the link to the article as an example of what can happen when property rights are involved.

At this point - you need to step away from the little details like the potm and pulling post and stuff. You need to start putting up video game recorders that has a view of the said property but far away enough so there is no question its on your property so they wont see it and take it. If you start putting posts back up, make sure its not right on the properety line, but well inside your property and have game corder take pics of you doing that. when its taken down- court time. Do not confront anyone from this point on. It already got heated in the first place and you will have heated neighbors basically for the rest of the time you own that lot. Basically you need to cool down, use video surveillance with posted signs as your way to keep things on your side.

I understand about your want to use the lot, but you will need to have a surveyor out there and actually put in markers. Once the markers are in, you will need to have game cameras pointing to all of them if you can. If the markers gets pulled out, you have evidence since its illegal to remove the markers. Your only recourse for fast resolution is pictures and show the LEO's what you got and done so far.

The Gift of Fear great book btw. Cameras are a must, does your state have castle laws? at this point you have been threatened, hit by atvs, been attacked by mobs of people. I would think that pepper spray, at the least would be a must. A shotgun, would also be a good deterrent make sure the wife knows how to shoot also.

As Radioman suggests, step away for a monemt. One of the things that the Gift of Fear will help you with are your long-term goals. What do you want in the long-run, peaceful use of your property, or immediate retribution for the assaults? Going after the latter may impede the former goal.

Educate yourself. If you don't have a lot of experience in dealing with maggots, you might be making a mistake by exercising your rights on the short-term goals. I'm not trying to cover for lazy police, but that may be what the police see in the situation and you don't. They may know what you are in for with these maggots.

Only you can evaluate the people and decide the best course of action for you.

There are survey markers & the survey is current. The trespassers are the ones that picked the surveyor when this property was still part of the estate. They now claim the surveyor did not finsh the job & that the survey is wrong. It has only been a little over 2 years sinvw the survey. Their surveyor has already told them that it is correct.

All I am looking for is for them to stay off my property & leave me alone. I have better things to do besides wasting time dealing with them.

Again -- put cameras up when they are not looking. when you see them again or suspect they were there, get the pictures/video and call the LEO's. Document every step of the way what you done because if this blows up in your face, you have recourse. Eventually they will give up since most people dont like trouble from LEO's.

I have put up game cameras. Put those up on Monday afternoon.

I think that pretty much sums up what the parties to a property line dispute always say. Hope it goes well for you.

It is like dealing with unwanted animals. Set trap, add bait, dispose of offenders. I'm sure they have paths they travel like animals. Pick one where they are coming good and far onto your land. Set something in the path that makes them mad/curious maybe find an old ford ranger for instance for a couple hundred dollars. Make sure to leave plenty of stuff in bed that they can vandalize with like paint, hammers you get the idea. Have game cam ready... oh yea leave a cooler of beer in bed iced down that is like kryptonite. As they steal and vandalize while posing for pics getting wasted, get your lawyer ready to sue them into oblivion. Maybe you will own some more ground
Your dealing with adolescent a holes. The only way to stop them is to:
-burn their little bank accounts down.
-find the ringleader and beat the he11 out of him (not real good idea)
-make their lives he11 in return when they are around. Make the cops just about live there.(it puts a damper on the mood)
