Did I Over React ?

Forums:
On Friday my wife was out of town and my kids were out. I have 3 dogs from 12 pounds to 25 pounds. Little barking fuckers but good protective dogs. We have a dog door leading to a fenced in back yard. When no one is home 2 of the 3 lay on the back of the sofa looking out to the road keeping everyone safe. The bark 1 or 2 times for a car, 3 or 4 times for a walker or bicyclist, bark a bunch for a passing dog and plain ole go ape shit when someone knocks on the door. They will run out the back dog door and make a ruckus at the side wood gates if something funky is going on.
I get home on Friday afternoon a little earlier than normal about 4 and I hear my dogs going ape shit in the house and in the back yard.
My neighbor lady (very un-friendly single older woman in her late 50's) is having a very large non Florida native carrotwood tree removed and there is 4 Latino non English speaking men in my back yard cutting up a shit ton of branches from said tree. The tree branches fell on a wood bench my brother made for us and cracked it (It was old) and they broke a glass table that was in that corner and broke 2 of our 4 plastic chairs around the table. (plastic chairs were old too).
It was a VERY big tree.
I freaked out and told them to get the fuck out of my yard. Over the fence one spoke fair English and he was telling me to calm the fuck down and let them clean up the yard. I was fuckin irate. One of the men had a machete and the other had a chainsaw and they were approaching me and speaking Spanish to the one on the ladder. I told them I was feeling threatened in my own yard I went into my house and got my shotgun.
Shit turned real.
They scattered like cockroaches and I went back into my house. About 10 minuets elapsed and I was expecting the cops to show up but it was boss man Latino/ He spoke good English. He told me he knocked on my door and there was on answer and thought it would be cool to open my gate and just go to work in my yard. I showed him the 3 NO TRESPASSING and the 3 BEWARE OF DOG signs. He said he did not think they applied to him.?????????
He got the neighbor lady on the phone and she said they were supposed to do it next week and apologize over and over asking me to let them clean up what they started. I told them they had 10 minuets and told the neighbor lady about the broken furniture. She will be out of town til Saturday.
I calmed down and let them clean up my yard.
Saturday came and my neighbor lady was outside on her cell and I waited till was about to walk in the house (she saw me and pretended not to see me) and stopped her and she put her phone on her shoulder and nasty like said What. I asked her what we were going to do about the broken furniture. She responded that she did not break it and that I need to prove that her workers broke it and went into the house. I knocked for a couple of minuets and she would not answer her door.
I know the plastic chairs were old and shitty, the table was fine and the wood bench my Brother built was a cool piece of furniture.
Should I burn her out or call the feds??????

Glad things didn't escalate
Glad things didn't escalate further, and cooler heads prevailed. That could have gotten way worse.
You didn't over-react. They caused damage to your property, then trespassed where you had clear signage stating they shouldn't. I'd accept an apology for the trespassing, but your neighbor or her crew should reimburse you for any damages to your property. File a police report, and give your neighbor an estimate of the damages, with the understanding that it will only end up costing her more if you have to hire a lawyer.

You could easily found yourself in a situation where you were forced to shoot someone. Then you'd spend 10k+ on a lawyer for a grand jury over some broken plastic furniture when you could have just locked yourself in the house with the shotgun and waited for the cops.

I can see if there were two random dudes in your backyard with a chainsaw and a machete maybe. But if they obviously were there with a company chopping down a tree I think the fear is pretty manufactured. But like you said it's Florida so it really doesn't matter.

Anyway, I would have called the cops just to document the people present and their contractor license + insurance policy. A licensed tree company would have proper equipment to take down a tree (bucket truck, proper ladders). These guys sound like shady operators.
You ought to sue them out of business, and the neighbor for hiring unlicensed contractors. She endangered you and your property by hiring unqualified individuals.

I got pictures of his trucks too. After a few phone calls this afternoon to the county reveals his license has not been renewed for almost a year and I would doubt he has any active insurance.
I had to get an huge oak tree about 6 months ago removed on my other side and we talked to the landlord and the tenants and had an affidavit signed (tree mans paperwork) that the tree man was to enter their property and all was cool.
All I wanted was some communication and I would have covered my weed plants and put away my tools and bong from the side of my home. No trespassing signs are up for a reason, not to read as I go into some ones yard.

Tim, listen to Stu the wood guy. I agree with Stu, in no way were these guys professionals with proper insurance. Being in your yard is one thing, breaking stuff is certainly grounds for losing it and being irate. You either call the Police now or let it go. Also your nasty skank neighbor is not really responsible for your damage, the tree company is. The neighbor no doubt hired a cheap alternative to a professional tree company, at your expense i'd say. Did they break anything in her yard? Hall made a good point, you did take pics, right?

I'm no lawyer, but if this neighbor hired an unlicensed/uninsured contractor then I would think she would be responsible for the damages to the neighboring property. Worth filing in small claims court. I would file in small claims against the neighbor and also the shady tree company. If you have photos, you will win easily. Just tally up ALL the damages to your property. Don't be shy now.

Like I said the chairs were cheap old plastic chairs, the glass top table was just a yard table around our shady mango and lychee tree. The bench my brother built was almost twenty years old made of heavy pressure treated 2x14's. I actually planned on building 2 more because they are so heavy duty and comfortable.
I will let the dogs bark at him some more.
I don't like the idea of a lawn/tree company with at least a half a dozen workers without proper licenses and insurance. I know I pay a fuck ton to stay legal.

In our town, if you cut down a "heritage" tree (anything larger than 10" diamater) without a City permit, it's a big no - no. Huge fines. Probably not the case in Florida.

I've used this tree company a while ago to declare a redwood tree dead so we could have it removed. The City fought us..hard, claimed the tree was ill, but not yet dead. The arborist is actually top notch, not shady at all. Shady Tree Company wrote up the report, another company removed and replaced the tree for our HOA. The City required that a new - err MATURE tree be planted in it's place.

He is the one who originally said don't call the county on him in my first conversation. I am a state and county licensed contractor and spend aproxomatly $90,000 a year on licensing, insurance, unemployment, workers compensation, state and federal taxes to keep my business "legal" and the Trump comment was just a joke.
So no it is not a DICK move to hire, use and support licensed contractors. It is a DICK move to sneak around and not pay your fair share to do work illegally. When something happens like an injury, fire, something breaks and the homowner insurance company finds that you hired an unlicensed oran uninsured company THEY WILL NOT PAY the claim,
Example: the tree falls the wrong way and takes out the corner of the clients house and it rips a hole in the roof takes out the facia and soffit and breaks a window. The cost for a repair like this can EASILY exceed $15,000. Your homowners insurance will not pay for it. The tree guy has no insurance and I doubt Orlando has 15K kicking around to help you out.
So That is why I am a DICk or even A FUCKIN ASSHOLE DICK when it comes to licensing and insurance.
In my bussiness of HVAC in South Florida I see 100 houses a year that are fucked because some homeowner knows a friend of a friend or got a good deal or was $500 less than me.

This tale illustrates the
This tale illustrates the reasoning behind hiring licensed, insured tree companies. They are Pros and if they do fuck up, there's insurance in the picture.
People often ask me to knock down their yard trees that are Dead or about to be Dead. I'll do it one out of ten times if the safety and liability conditions are just right:
-- No electrical or phone lines that could get hit
-- No structures or fences in the tree's path (as it falls the wrong way)
-- No where near the neighbor's property line.
Basically, I will happily chop up a tree that already fell over, and most homeowner policies allow a few hundred bucks for such incidents. But I really prefer to let the Pros handle these things. They can use the income, and I'm fine just showing up with a Log-Splitter after the hazardous stuff is dealt with. Even your basic industrial Chipper is a dangerous machine -- they could kill someone.

What I expressed previously is True.
Mr. Flash expressed great restraint and diplomacy by never actually firing the Shotgun, and working out some sort of agreement with the Trespassers for all of the property damage and malevolence inflicted upon Him and Home by the unlicensed, uninsured carpetbaggers.
So He did really well, all factors considered. When random Idiots trespass on my property, I tend to get a bit livid. If they poop themselves during my stern lecture, that is A-OK with me. They can spread the gospel about not trespassing upon this particular Property to their dirtbag pals.
