What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Alabama
we have a lady that owns property behind ours that has a prescriptive easement. Her family uses it very rarely. Recently we had signs of someone trying to steal equipment on our property so we chained off the easement and gave the owners of the property behind us 8 keys for all their family members. Her response was she didnt care if our property was stolen she would not be inconvienced and will cut the lock. Which she keeps doing. Do we have a right to protect our property? We keep putting the locks back and she or her sons keep cutting them. Is there a law on the books somewhere that will help us

Her thought process and her sons, which she has stated many times is that they will do as they see fit on our property
