Taking a chainsaw onto your property to “trim” your tree is a clear violation of the law. It was smart of you to take a video of your neighbor climbing over the fence from your property to his.
If you have the time to post back later, I would be interested in hearing what the arborist’s assessment is on the tree damage.
I hope you can recover from your neighbor all of the costs for a replacement tree, plus your costs in having an arborist out to evaluate the condition of the tree.
You can file a small claims suit against your neighbor if, after you present the neighbor with your receipts and demand payment, the neighbor refuses to pay.
I agree that it is puzzling that the police appear to have done nothing - although Yulia does say there is “a case open” with the police. If the tree is as damaged as Yulia says, that’s definitely vandalism.
Maybe Yulia should just jump right to a lawsuit. That might be the best way to get the neighbor’s attention.
