I've been to this guys place. Nicest guy. But he is absolutely surrounded by "Trump Nation" people (their flags are everywhere out there) who hate him. Every time he leaves home his place is vandalized. Just before I visited someone had waited till he was gone and then dumped truck loads of some kind of poison all over his grounds. He was going through and sifting it out of the soil by hand. It is incredible how cheerful and optimistic he remains in the face of all the surrounding hate. I'd definitely recommend going and visiting his place if you are ever in Portland.

In an area surrounded by "Trump Nation" flags, the police very likely have those flags on their property too. They may well do nothing if you are reporting their friends, and they will definitely do nothing if the perpetrators are actually officers.

It's property crime. They'll write up a report and you can give it to your insurance company. They're not going to investigate it in-depth or serve as your personal security force.

The most effective solution is probably to put up a fence and cameras.

Why do they hate him?

Reporting property damage to the police is never useful. Where I live, they won't even send an officer out.

I have a few friends who own property in West Virginia, so probably similar vibes to rural Oregon. A report to the police out there for something like this would probably be counter-productive. At best.

It's amazing how over-spec'ed (in some categories) for housing plane is: air-tight, heavy thermal and noise insulation, built to withstand winds of hundreds of miles-per-hour. It's a shame we can't build something like the iPhone or Tesla of housing.
