What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Mississippi
Two months ago, our neighbor's children spray painted large Xs and wrote "no tresspassing" on our trees. The father did not make his children apologize to us, and he accused my hubsband of overreacting. He didn't think it was big deal. The father tried to clean the spray paint off of the trees but most of it didn't come off. I took before and after picutures of our trees.
At the time, my husband didn't call the police. Could we still file an incidence report?
Also, we had our property surveyed and received an estimate for the cost of building a privacy fence that would separate our properties. Right now, we can only afford to pay for part of the privacy fence.
Big question--Can we take them to small claims court? What chance do we have that the judge would order them to pay 50% of the cost of putting up a privacy fence that would separate our backyards?
Thanks,
Deborah
