Well csrmel, if you were a judge and the case was before you then he would have a good chance of not going to jail. But in todays society, weak, pathetic and always looking for a free handout (ie lawsuit), not a good idea. You need to demand your property and then call the ploice and let them handle it. You may also call the reputable builders and ask them if they have any heads there from him, and they are probably yours. I know they are all pretty busy this time of year............. :beer:
