That’s what I was thinking.
The wood isn’t on your property?
A couple of points…
First, if some kids are crawling around on that pile of wood and get hurt, or if some runs into it with their car, or whatever, you’re gonna’ be in a world of hurt. You’ve increased your liability concern 100-fold because you have no control over who enters that property, or what they do on that property. Even if you have permission to stack it there you have no control… and if you don’t have specific permission, and something does happen, the quarry owner is gonna’ dump on you big-time. Either way, doubtful your homeowners insurance is gonna’ stand very tight with you.
Second, you can’t defend your firewood because it’s not on your property… technically you can’t even file a theft report if it goes missing. You have nothing to legally show the wood belongs to you (remember, possession is nine-tenths of the law)… in the eyes of the law that wood belongs to the quarry. Really, there isn’t anything stopping me from driving up and loading up… unless the quarry wants to get involved. Believe it or not, if you go grab an armload of that wood and carry it onto your property, the quarry can claim you stole their property.
Third, if a property line battle ever does get started your chances of coming out on top are pretty slim (unless you have specific permission from the quarry). Any lawyer, even a halfwit lawyer, can easily prove you yourself have no respect for property lines, and that ignoring them has been the status quo in your neighborhood for many years (your wood, neighbor’s fence and A/C unit). Any credibility you may have had will be gone in an instant.
If I were you I wouldn’t be making any calls until I went back and made sure I had dotted all my “I’s” and crossed all my “T’s”.
