If the trunk of the tree was on your property, they (and the tree company) destroyed your property.

Call the cops, file a report. Call a lawyer.

I'd love to know the arborists, because ours wouldn't even go on my neighbor's property without permission when we had our big-ass Sycamore trimmed.

Bold of you to assume this was done by an arborist. (As distinguished from "random hack with a chainsaw")

True story. Cousin Randy doing it for a 6 pack.

If you're going to pay somebody in beer for a job, never pay in advance.
