'Haber tried to act like it was a big mix up. The workers right away blamed him & he denied everything and told them all to leave.

'Haber came out and said "isn’t this a disaster? Who would do this?". Ever since he cut the trees down there’s been lots of crows and Soil erosion.

'When I was outback with the forester he let his two dogs out and they were harassing us.

'He was yelling for the dogs from 50 feet away but wouldn’t actually come get them.

'The fine is 32 grand but the estimates in damage are around $1.9 million.

'A letter was dropped in our mailbox that was typed & unsigned saying he’s not a bad neighbor & he moved here because he loves nature. Otherwise he’s had nothing to say.'
