Quote History Quoted:
Actually I do. Absentee landowner? Should I have to patrol my property daily with a rifle so to hope that someone won't destroy it? I own several parcels of land and some I do not often make it to annually. I also know and speak to most of the adjacent owners as well and have never had an issue thank you. Don't know where your from but most of the laws here state that if your property is posted, you can pursue legal means to those that trespass. Especially if they cause destruction or commit timber theft. (you know, violate the law)
Don't know if you missed the earlier thread, but you can't build fences through dense hardwood forest. Doesn't work that way as this isn't the treeless desert of Arizona. But with your arrogant logic, I should expect someone to key my car because I park it in my driveway instead of my garage. Piss off troll

How so? Legally, of course you "have a say." In real life, when you only make it to the property every few years, no, you effectively don't have any say in whether or not people trespass. It will happen. And I don't know what is magical about Michigan woods, but my family built plenty of barb wire fence through jungle dense terrain when I was a youngster to...mark our property. A property without defined borders is a bit like a country without the same. It sorta doesn't exist.
I would be ticked too in your situation. The neighbor likely did the acts you claim they did, and it sucks. But your righteous attitude about the whole thing, and your thoughts that you're going to stop trespassing from afar, is humorous.
And, while you don't give a shit about relationships now, what happens when you build that retirement home and by some off chance, the same people still own the neighboring land, or might even have already built their own house, and now you truly are neighbors? Maybe they are also familiar with what you mentioned about people being burned out for less, and apply it in your direction. I'm not sure where the car in the driveway comparison is suppose to apply here, but whatever.
But yeah, I'm just a troll that's hung around here over a decade waiting for you to show.
