My brother in law lives a mile from me and we work on tractors and equipment together,Hes retired and 80 yrs old. We have a woman neighbor that must have come from the city,She throws cement blocks and fencing or anything she dont want in his field,He talked to her about it and thats calmed down some,She was driving across his field to get to the back of her property,normally he wouldnt mind to much but shes the type that uses people and hes also afraid she will have her friends over and all of them use his land. He told her she had to make a drive of her own and after a while she did,Now she has someone haying her field, and they went to another field he has and drove all over trying to find a gate to her land,then they drove 2 tractors and a car back on him to get to her field,We strung a chain across his drive,Sorry for the long post,but did we do right? Thanks

I'd put out boards with spickes in a few convenient places.

Wasn't really trying to do any damage, but was dragging two old harrow fields upside down once on a pasture, lost track of time and had to leave quick so unhooked and left them lay. Local guy replaced 3 of 4 tires and came crying to me. Asked him what he was doing on my property and he walked off talking to himself.

Lot of people get killed with chains, might hang more stuff from it so it's obvious.

We have a "No Tresspassing " sign hanging from the chain and its low enough that it shouldnt brother, I forgot to add that once she moved the fence several feet on his field. He had to replace the blades on his brush hog after she put the junk in his field,Nails would be a get even maybe

Did you ask him to replace the harrows he bent up by driving over them?

I would put a couple large bulls in the field.

or a sniper tower :lol:

Put up a sign, "No Trespassing, Survivors Will Be Prosecuted".

His place? He don"t want "em on there? He done right. Next time call the cops. He"s already gone the extra mile.

If she is city- being polite won"t help much. Got to get her attention city style- get the police to visit her with a court order/restraining order to keep off, no tresspass or big money civil penalty and court costs threat. But don"t "threaten"- document actions and take pictures, actually go to sherriff and file tresspass complaint. He"s retired, lots of time to go to town and show up in court, maybe at times inconvenient to her. County attorney should be the one to help prosecute the "criminal" tresspass- or tell her to quit tresspassing under threat of giving newest hire a test case to get a felony conviction or jail time - her. Maybe she is trying to do a bank fraud with property lines, maybe she is trying to get a back way to a meth lab- lots of possibilities behind the tresspassing and fence line moving- which seems like a attempt at theft that should really be investigated by a police officer. Read up on local ordaninces and state laws, should find a few little things- and if she screams or threatens or does some other malicious act- felony intimidation of witness or obstruction charge with a grand jury appearance is something police could tell her to beware of. A $1000.00 tresspass suit in small claims court might get her attention. Might find a local lawyer that would like to establish a basis of larger lawsuit-and do a simple call like: " I"ll have 1/2 of your property in a year if we file suit for damages and tresspass". Just musing- but I collected almost $5000.00 couple weeks ago for a 5 year old judgement from someone who thought he was judgement proof. RN

Problem with nails is that they don't discriminate between people and animals.
Better to use the law to his advantage. Force her to clean up her leavings on his land, reestablish the property line, and mark it with a fence. Good fences make good neighbors. Good warnings make for better relations.
