Today, I watched one of my neighbor's trees fall into the electrical lines outside my house. This was after he took a chainsaw to the tree. He refuses to cover the damages. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I decided to clear up some storm damage. I carefully cut a tree that was threatening to fall on my house. It fell on my neighbor's house instead. He's taking me to court for damages. FML
Today, my neighbors threatened to sue me because a six-foot branch fell off one of my trees and into their yard, hitting nothing on the way down. FML

Today, I finally went to Home Depot to buy a chainsaw to cut down the tree leaning dangerously over my garage. When I got home, I found the tree had fallen and taken out the roof while I was shopping. FML

Today, I got home to find my truck smashed by a fallen old tree. I was going to have the tree removed next week. FML

Take legal action or call the police, its damage of personal property and clearly you have the evidence in a form of a giant tree.

Yes. The city utility people will check the tree, notice that it was cut down purposely and charge the person on whose property the tree belongs. That person can recoup the costs from their homeowners insurance, if they have any.

Won't the power company fix it? We had a tree fall here and they came right out, put up new line and fixed it.

They will fix it BUT they'll inspect the tree and see that it didn't fall naturally and send the party responsible the bill.

If the police can determine that the tree was cut down by a chain saw, then I dont think your neighbor can refuse to pay damages lol
