Driveway Part II
Closed the driveway that the neighbors tenant was using. I just took the Kubota and front end loader and made a dirt pile across the drive as high as the hood on my truck. Then I cleared my other lot. Worked about 4 hours hard and loaded the tractor. Then the tenant came home. He pulled up and saw he could not get to his home using the driveway. He peeled out and drove around the other end of the home, went thru his backyard, thru my yard and onto the drive again. I ask him across the yard WTH he was doing driving across my yard. His wife called me a **ick, I called the sheriff's dept and told them they were on the way. The tenants left. I piled dirt where he cut thru on my property. Deputy arrives and said it looked great and showed them the survey. Said to send the guy a trespass notice and if he drives across it again to call, and they would gladly arrest him.

I know your neighbors are dumb asses. They should not have put the drive way there.
But you are starting a civil war. You are going to put your new tenants right in the middle of it.

I know the mentality.
You should never have let it get personal.
When he initially threatened you, you should have sworn out a warrant for assault and gotten a trespass order for this lot and your home lot. Maybe it's not too late.
In Va the use of threatening profanity is actionable.
These types need to go before a judge to temper their rash behavior.
They need a lesson in private property rights and the judge, not you needs to give it to them.
Then the next time, and you can bet there will be a next time, the judge will slam him (and his wife if she's involved) good.
I had a similar, maybe worse, situation only my two paving contractor witnesses didn't show up in court.
A little voice recorder might be handy when you visit the lot.
I'd take the initiative on this.
When you get materials and/or a prefab on the site it might comprise a tempting mischief opportunity for these critters. Prepare for it.0 -

ITS HIS PROPERTY!!! What do you expect him to do?0 -
Female Sheriff's Deputy was a hoot. I was actually on the tractor when the Deputy pulled up. She said I was doing the right thing. Looked at the survey and couldn't believe the guy was using my property. 0 -

All of this is true. It will only escalate. Be prepared and document everything! Write down conversations,dates, take pictures, etc. I'm afraid you are going to need it. Speaking from experience.0 -
To heck with a dirt pile. a ditch would have been better, or spike strips, or a few well placed land mines. 0 -
if worse comes to worse...you could always contact his landlord and offer to buy the property next door....... 0 -

I actually did that when I sent the certified letter. Tenant said the place was for sale. It is a legal mess just like the other properties in the sub division. I got my deed cleaned up ( by the seller ). Others in subdivision have liens on them. Original builder filed bankruptsy.0 -
