My neighbor dug a very thin long trench in our yard without our permission. Is that a crime?

I'd think so but I'm not a lawyer.

I am not a lawyer obviously, but...
Based on the penalties for cutting neighbor's trees without permission, I think it's a civil issue.  So you could sue for mental anguish and aesthetic damage to your yard, and/or maybe the cost of undoing the trench.

It also seems like it'd be misdemeanor trespassing but that depends on the state I think, might be a tough case?  I don't actually know.

Unless he did it because his house was at risk of being flooded and your yard was the only usable way to drain his terrain AND you could not be immediately contacted, I don't see how that's a legal thing to do.

@SC: Stimulants can actually make you feel tired (though note you haven't gotten rid of them, unless you're drinking decaf tea -- a cup of green tea usually has at least as much caffeine as a cup of coffee :P), especially after a few hours, it takes energy to process fat and sugar* (also, neither of the two are particularly good for get-up-and-go energy, heh -- they're not terribly good for pep, despite what common narratives say about sugar), and if you're exercising and losing weight, you're carrying less around, on top of all the other good stuff a jogging regimen brings. Just to name a non-exhaustive list of what's going on, heh, as metabolism and whatnot is pretty complicated stuff. Basically you're doing most of what naturally increases personal energy, so... that's what's happening.

*Though I wouldn't be entirely surprised if you haven't really cut back too much on fats and sugars, heh. They actually tend to largely come from stuff that isn't immediately fat or sugar, hah.
The 'energy' stuff that the idea of a sugar rush comes from is a confusion of terms. Food/metabolic energy is energy in the way physicists/most other natural scientists talk about energy. On the other hand, pure caffeine has zero or negative energy in that sense.

If you mainlined glucose, you wouldn't be any more alert, on the other hand, unless you're in the middle of falling into a hypoglycemic coma. You couldn't do much running without sugar, either, you'd get tired fast - but it's more of the 'halp my muscles are jelly' kind of tired, not 'I gotta go inhale the pillow a bit' tired.

Not a crime in most places, mostly a civil rights problem. It may count as invasion of invasion of property in some places, maybe. Pretty sure its something that can justify a lawsuit, though, if just one to reinburse you guys on the damage the property suffered and the unlawful alteration.

Thanks for answering my random question, people. No legal action will probably be taken (it was just a matter of talking and now waiting), but I was curious if it was against the law.

Why did he dig that trench, anyway?

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Turns out he was installing television cable and in order to get to the nearest utility pole, the workers had to dig through our yard. It probably would have been fine, except he bother didn't to tell my folks. ::)
So now the cable company dudes have to back come and install the cable on the along my neighbors' fences, a more reasonable spot, rather than through the middle of our yard. It's not a big deal though because the "trench" is really just a slit (couldn't think of this word earlier) in the ground.

Where online could I have a single custom poster printed and shipped to me? Bonus if they don't object to copyrighted images.
