You need proof that the trees were on your property. You also need the identity of the person who cut them down AND proof that they cut them down. If you have all that proof then you can sue for the damage. Any photos of the trees and photos of the freshly cut stumps would help. Mature trees are expensive to replace. You would need an estimate from a professional landscaper or tree nursery that clearly lists the replacement costs including trees and the labor to deliver and plant them. For now perhaps you should file a complaint with the police. However, your claim may be compromised if the trees were causing damage to someone else's property, they complained, and you did nothing. You should speak to an attorney to determine what your options are. Or, check with your local small claims court to see if you could bring an action there and represent yourself.
