Ok, it looks like they didn't get any logging permits and nothing is recorded on the county site. I checked the parcels in the area that were logged by a professional logger and they all had an application on file and had a "6 years development moratorium" in parcel alerts. Her parcel doesn't...

I am trying to located the timber tax that they paid. Does anyone knows where I can find that (WA state, Pierce county)? They are both lying. The neighbor does know the property outline and she's saying that he took more than he was supposed to. He says that she told him the property...

Yes, that's what my husband said that survey is something they should have done before logging the trees. We called the survey firm and yes, she is to be scheduled next week because they are backed up but they can't tell us the date for privacy. After we told them about "timber trespass", they...

Yes, it is illegal but for the neighbors who knowingly stole the trees, got caught and confronted and might be facing a jail time and court appearance with fines and settlements, do you think they wouldn't move those stakes for their benefit? I'm 100% sure that's why she went and paid for it...

It all sounds good and if they were rich and working, most likely that's the way we would go but their assets might be exempt from the collection by "Homestead exemption" law in WA so we rather settle out of court as we might spend a lot of money and get nothing. Lawyers don't take cases like...

Logger came to us with a letter of apology and $500. He mentioned before that he didn't get paid what he was supposed to so I guess she might've cheated him out -- or is he lying? He's about 70 and can't read or write so his woman wrote the letter for him. And the neighbor finally texted back...

He doesn't know the amount but when we saw the logging done, we were talking to her like none of our trees were taken and got as much info as possible. She said that she got about $8700 and there were 3 and a half loads. In the beginning we thought that about 2-3 of our trees were taken, the...

You are correct and that logger who's getting a law degree said that amount for 15 trees will get to 100 grand. Initially we thought that maximum judgment for the trees can be up top 15 grand + expenses but it's much more.

The idea was to put the trash on their side and run an 8' fence. It can be burned as it's branches and bark. They live there and can burn it easily. We don't live there and it would take us 2-3 days at least.

HRZ -- No, not lacking focus but considering all our options and whether it will be worth it. To start the lawsuit, we need a survey ($2K), estimations of stolen trees value by a professional forester ($1K) and find a lawyer who will wait for judgment as most of them want $$$ upfront. We are...

HRZ -- just read your last message -- no, I'm not missing it and I know about it. Just gathering the info how to proceed. I really don't want to put them on the streets by forcing the sale on their property (no mortgage, they own it free and clear). We will settle for $5K and even told them...

HRZ -- there's her application to move a mobile with her signature dated in 2015 with her property outlined on file with the county. I was looking for our septic records to create a site plan and found it by accident. One more thing the logger said that she wanted to take more trees but he...

More info: We found the logger who turned out to be the neighbor down the street and confronted him about stolen trees. His eyes nearly popped when we told him that her property line is not a straight line but it's a triangle cut-out. He was very disturbed about it and demanded proof which we...

Quincy, it's a different lot I am talking about so please don't combine them. That development with 5 lots and electric transformer was put "on hold" by us as those lots are going to be very expensive to get all utilities in and since they are in "forest designation", the taxes we pay are...

What is the name of your state? WA. Pierce county After further research on the county site, found the document that she submitted 3 years ago with her lot and property line so she was well aware about the zigzag that had 15 our trees. Now besides value of the trees there is a ditch on both...
