Some years ago a fellow started a religious retreat on property bordering mine. He used a road that borders my land for a half mile to access his. graded dirt. He had delivery trucks coming in on thursdays, driving too fast. On fridays he'd have a for-hire bus come in loaded with true believers. Again, driving WAY too fast. Although a dedicated road, the county wouldn't help. I posted signs, I asked the property owner to tell his customers to slow down, all to no avail.
Finally in frustration I followed the bus, empty on his way out, got the pertinent numbers off of it with a picture and called the sheriff. They issued a ticket to the bus company. The company called to verify it with me. I had no idea the sheriff would disclose the complainant but they did. The manager of the bus company said they had a firm employee rule, one ticket and you're fired. I asked for the driver's name and they gave it to me.
Some days later the guy called up and began verbally abusing my wife over the phone, making all sorts of threats about wouldn't it be too bad if somebody took a pot shot at those nice looking horses. She didn't know who he was so handed the phone to me. I let him rant and then calmly said look pal, you've just threatened violence against my property and home in your own name. You've lost your job, do you want to go to jail as well? Rest assured if anyone from this point forward causes any unpleasantness to me, my family or my property, I'm giving the cops YOUR name and phone number. I never heard from the douchebag again.
Press charges on the bastid.
