I think the neighbors are thinking "Hey, it's a haole on the mainland, lets go after him!" After reading all the posts in this subject I found only one thing you can be held responsible for, your tree branch encroaching into the neighbors property. I don't think your lot is the only one favored by the rats there and I don't think those rats wear name tags with your TMK on.
One of my clients had a similar experience with his neighbor here in Kona and the neighbor cut down his tree. The neighbor was proscecuted for criminal property damage and had to pay $25K to my client. Don't back down, property right is still around in the US the last time I checked!
