Man walks into neighbor's yard, cuts down 50-year-old trees to improve his views

30. About 30 years ago, somebody did EXACTLY THAT in my neighbourhood.

Except he didn't cut the trees down. He just cut a 2 inch thick strip of BARK from around each trunk, thus killing them without having to cut them down. They never proved who did it. They must have been in and out like a Ninja, in the night. And this was before the days of security cameras. (But they just would have worn a mask, anyway.)

The house that was blocked by the trees was already for sale by a realestate agent, and it sold for more than it otherwise would have, now that it had 'acquired' a panoramic view!

But the owner never got any compensation for that. It was outrageous!

I like the idea of a lawsuit! The judge should assess the value of the $10,000,000 house WITH and WITHOUT the view. And should award the difference to the plaintiff. If it sold for $10,000,000; and it was valued at $7,000,000 WITHOUT the view...it looks like that asshole owes his neighbour $3,000,000.
