Criminal treaspass & property damage

[MIKE_G]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania. So I was informed that the neighbors 'grandson' tore up several properties in the neighborhood including mine with a 4 wheeler. I have not seen the damage but will in the morning. My question is- do I approach the grandparents who have no money or do I let the state police approach them? I will take this to the next level ASAP only if there is considerable damage. I have 25 acres and we have had a lot of rain recently. So risk a lifetime enemy of the grandson & his family or let it go...

That isn't a legal question.

Perhaps you should view the damage and call your insurance company?

Absolutely! Then at least OP will be able to gauge whether taking a loss would be worth saving the friendship.

So far- let it go to the insurance company? Let the perp go as well? I will see the damage and get more info in the morning.

I vote for hog tying him and using his own 4 wheeler to drag him around your property using him as a drag to smooth out the damage.




Seriously guy, you do what you think is appropriate. Nobody here knows you or anybody else involved or the relationships involved.

Back when I was growing up, we'd have had the boy with some rakes and grass seed or whatever going and smoothing out the ruts and replanting.

It's all good@

I appreciate the advice. No damage that I found worth following up on. I too would do the rake and grass seed 1st- great option!

I have bestowed the honor on a few relatives.
