After many weeks of nothing being fixed, I decided to "video tape" the next time they came with another "third party manager". Under NRS 200, I am in all my right to have cameras inside my house, but I also gave them the disclaimer before entering the house. Two days later,... View More

She had a caretaker/security person living on the property and was aware of the tools being on the property. I do have a copy of the police report in my possession.

If you feel confident in putting your entire trust and faith in the person on the other side of the deal, that then becomes a personal decision on your part. Also, is the builder being represented by an attorney?
