VerifiedDebra Thal (username) :
What province is this please?
Debra Thal (username) :
How much damage (monetarily ) did she do?
Did you call the police?
Customer :
The province is British Columbia, she cut approximately 28 linear feet of tree tops, increasing my siteline to the highway and no I did not call the police because she did it while I was out of town. But I did talk to the Village of Lions Bay bylaw officer, I did report it to him, and he did investigate, and she and her husband did admit to doing it. However, I have not been able to locate the company that did the actual tree topping.
Customer :
I could find you a picture and send it to you. There is about 6-8 feet of height cut off.
Customer :
I am not sure of the monetary value, but I know that approx 50 branches were cut, and there were approximately 26 trees. The Village fines 1500 per tree, but I don't know if that means topping or cutting down from the trunk.
Customer :
I need to leave for a short appointment, so I will get back to you in 30 min.
Customer :
Thank you.
