The thing that gets me, is the lock. If he hadn't been given keys that fit the lock on the access to the property, then he probably ought to dig a little deeper. On the one hand, he might think it's just an oversight. But on the other hand, wouldn't he want to make sure?

GOM, I don't think you should get involved in his lawsuit. You don't want to have anything to do with this guy. He is not a rational thinker and is reactive.

He's the one who messed up your land, so he has to make restitution.
