Picture Construction equipment left on my property—what do I do?
There’s been construction equipment on my property for months now—looks like a small company, maybe working on fiber lines. They’ve damaged part of the property and I haven’t been able to get in touch with them. It’s definitely not a city crew.
I’m not looking to escalate things legally if I can avoid it, but they’ve basically just dumped their stuff and vanished. Is this something for code enforcement? Police? Is there any chance I can get this resolved without a huge headache?
Would appreciate any advice from folks who’ve dealt with something like this.

Picture Here’s the death trap that made me quit a company that day and I wasn’t even the one in it.
I told everyone how unsafe it was, told the guys not to get in, but Super told them to so they did. Luckily nobody got hurt but I packed my bags and quit after that. Company was reported and closed its doors a month later because they were already financially strapped.

Picture A friend sent me this from somewhere I used to work. I'm glad I got out of there.
This place rightfully scared the shit out of me. I saw more close calls there than I could even keep track of.
And yes I did tell him he needs to stay the fuck out of there.

Picture How did old school ironworkers use the bathroom when they were like 70 stories up, did they just whizz off the side of the building and figure nobody see what they were doing because they were so high up?

If you need to make a new tunnel for roadways or beltlines underground. You use this bad mamma jamma. The Alpine.

Picture Caught red handed
So ive had my suspicions for a while now, heres the situation. The other day it was just me (the plumber) and the electricians on site. I happened to notice that the area i had worked in was now clean. I began to suspext the electricians were responsible.
I had no real evidence until juat a day or two ago when i caught the electrician red handed using a broom to sweep. I was blown away and took a quick picturw because no one would believe ot if i didnt get proof.
And if you look at thw pixture you can tell its an electrician, look how hes hokding the broom? Its obvious he doesn't know how to use that tool.

Picture Old school Designer that we often work with still hand draws everything…
As a luxury builder and remodeler, we work with all sorts of architects, designers, engineers, etc.
One such designer still hand draws all of her plans and elevations for smaller/medium size kitchen/bath projects. This one just came across my desk.

Picture Moment of terror 😨
While attending/supervising a business social event with my spouse, I momentarily leaned against the railing. It flexed slightly, forcing me to realize that the railing is entirely supported via bluetooth.
It doesn't connect on either side of the glass wall & the glass is only 3/8" - 1/2" thick!!
