A man recounts the frustrating experience of dealing with a negligent 'arborist' hired by his neighbor. The unlicensed contractor caused a significant tree to fall, damaging property and leaving the man without power for ten days. While the police deemed it a civil matter, the man seeks justice and aims to prevent the 'arborist' from harming others.
The man told Bored Panda his neighbor hasn’t reached out since the “arborist” disappeared. He believes it’s because they’re afraid of the legal consequences from hiring an unlicensed arborist . “Funny enough, if they would have just apologized, I would be far less likely to be mad at them. Apologies go a long way with me,” said the resident. Fortunately, he and his family received an outpouring of kindness assistance from a few people.
“My other neighbors have offered to help with the clean-up, gave us their generator after the,” he told us, adding that he suffered ten days without power due to the tree going through an electrical line. “ let us take warm showers at their house, and even had us over for dinner.”The man contacted the cops when the “arborist” damaged his property and dared to disappear. “The police said it was a civil matter if no one is actively at risk of being physically hurt, or was physically hurt,” he revealed. “In, there is a State agency that pursues contractors working without a license. I have filed with them in October, but I haven’t heard anything back as of yet.”The man says he’s not sure if getting the “arborist” arrested is the best outcome. But adds that given the guy’s criminal background, he doesn’t want him to hurt anyone else. “Protecting others is my #1 priority,” he told us.The techie said he was surprised by how many people advised him to take legal action against the unscrupulous tree feller. “It was shocking how many people think that you can just sue someone. You can sue anyone for anything, but actually recouping the costs is a totally separate matter,” he said before going into more detail. “This guy was previously arrested, didn’t have the money or sense to renew his LLC ($20), didn’t have the money or sense to renew his domain ($20), didn’t have the money or sense to get insurance,” he elaborate
