You should give them a button, mutter incantations in a foreign language, and groan the word "Lamia" at the end with an evil smile.
Awww, who am I kidding. I *still* like him when he's angry.
It's a bigger challenge than expected, for the last couple of weeks I've been enjoying the freedom of opening the door and letting the dogs run out, just because I could. Today I was taking them out one at a time on the leash and Vinnie got past me and got out off leash. I quickly put the leashed dog back in the house and grabbed another leash, I keep several of the kennel type slip leashes by the door, and when I got to Vinnie he was peeing on what was the fence line then followed it to the bottom of our yard, staying in-bounds the whole way, and waited for me to put the leash on. He's the best dog ever.
Cheap fix for the mean time... get some orange snow fence. That will keep them in there and you won't have to leash them until you get the other fence up.
Truly this is an epic saga. Just when you think the last chapter is done, another begins. Keep fightin' the good fight SillyRabbit!
Heh, if I was Vinnie I would go off and pee on what's left of "their" fence too.
At the very very least.

Agreed, the inaugural GWJ dog fence will be epic! I'm hoping it includes a fully upgraded tower defense system.
And please sue the hell out of those sad excuses for human beings.
+1 on all counts. SR, stay strong, and kudos for keeping your cool in a crisis. That could have played out so many other ways, and not for the better.
Time to find some more cash to drop into the Vinnie catch all donation fund methinks!

Friends of mine extended their house and added another bedroom at the end of the upstairs landing. It freaked their miniature schnauzer out for a while when he realised there was a room beyond where a wall used to be.
Sounds like Vinnie is respecting the boundary even if there is no physical barrier. He is a good dog.

Good plan.
That guy must have an interesting life if this was his highest priority. Especially after moving to a new house.
I've had my share of bad neighbors in the past, so I'm not too surprised about this maneuver. I learned the hard way that you can't show any mercy with this kind of 'people', but since they already moved away you could just let it slide. It really depends on what you find most important: getting your monies back and getting some justice, or just forgetting about the whole thing and finally getting some peace and quiet.
You are incredibly admirable SR, still keeping your cool after all this surely renders you some classification of zen master. Bravo to you and Vinnie, hopefully this is truly the last time you have to deal with these nutters.
It is no surprise to me that he has ripped out the fence.

I wasn't sure what to call this update, but I knew that those of you following this story would want to hear the latest juicy details.
How about: "the best offense is a good de-fence" ?
Seriously, I can't believe the balls it would take to do this.

I know... Such punnery is punishable by hanging in some countries.

I would imagine there would be some disagreement to that proverb from the guy whose stones you just kicked...
Depending on how modern your county is, you should be able to pull up the tax record for that address and see who owns it\pays the property taxes on it. They're online down here in the South, so... I can't imagine anywhere else would be behind us.
Then you'll know if he's a dick-head renter who just completely blasted his deposit or a dick-head homeowner.
Either way, I hope he dies in a fire.
Is this a foreclosure? If it is, I'd call his bank (easy enough to find out through public records) and inform them that he is maliciously vandalizing their property.

Actually more to the point if its not a foreclosure the bank would still own it. They just allow the inhabit the place as long as the dragon is paid... Of course it would be much worse if they were squatters.

Precisely. I might even have a conversation with the bank manager and tell him that you have witnessed him deliberately vandalizing the property out of spite and seems to be trying to destroy the value of the property prior to being evicted. This will might actually accelerate the process of getting his ass tossed off the property. At the very least, it will raise concerns with powerful, moneyed interests that would like to protect their investment.
I would just consider the suit for violating the agreement. If you get into vengeance moves, you'll just be kicking a rock. Right?
No, everyone should be able to accept such an agreement and expect that it is maintained in good faith. Don't lose faith in the goodness of people. Just in the goodness of those particular people.
I do not know what advice to give you, SR. On the one hand, you already have a starship that can take you anywhere in the galaxy you want. On the other, it would be nice to seek revenge and have more money to deck it out in soft, Corinthian leather.
You want to be mean? Sounds like he is prone to be in violation of several local codes (those municipalities love their stupid little rules about the state you ened to keep your own property in). Any of those he violates call the local code board about. Even if he filed bankruptcy these are after it and harder to wiggle out of.
