Ive just picked up a couple new tools.
Check his property taxes online...if he owes back taxes contact the assessor and say youre interested in buying with cash. IN OH they have a land bank....not sure if that exists by you but essentially at 35% the assessed value in back taxes the state takes the property if they want.
My neighbors horses that got out and look malnourished so i let the aspca know.
As much as I hate this one....report them to the govnt for any scamming. IRS, workers comp, etc. Again.....go to your county records website and arm yourself. I would be vehemently against this for recreational or unjustified BS.....but there is a point of where the doormat needs to be rolled up and used to beat the stupidity out of someone who lacks respect.
Get some sacrificial chickens, hang a cam and sue for destruction of property and endangerment. Once the law is forced to get involved it becomes a slippery slope for repeat offenders.
Last option....but perhaps a better one....if youre a person of faith, pray for wisdom and strength to get past this. While this may be a lesson for some reason
