Default RE: Camp got broken into

I've got 80 in Northwest Illinois and I'd love to build something on it but I just don't trust some of the neighbors. The first time I went out to hunt on it during turkey season I met a trespaser who was poaching on the property. He gave me excuse after excuse and it came down to his being beer buddies with the former owners and current neighbors. They gave him permission to hunt it about 15 years ago and nothing I can say will convince him that he can't continue to hunt it like he used to. I tossed him off of the property twice more during deer season and I've found my property messed with. He tried stealing a tree stand but couldn't saw through the chain (but he sure tried), I found big tire rusts through my food plot that match the tire tracks on his truck, and I found 2 gut piles that neither me nor anyone else I gave permission to hunt did.
If I built anything on this property this guy would destroy it. If I was to leave a camper on the property this guy would steal it. It's a huge shame that it only takes one jerk to really ruin what you've worked so hard for. Lately I've been thinking of selling the place and buying again but I really like the property. It's got great deer and turkey.
