Ok so this is the same old story to most of us, but I stood silent in disbelife.

I got a call from a landscape friend about a tree job that some guy had. The next thing I know he is yelling at the home owner to stop cutting. The guy was chiping and cutting a " pie " into a 2 1/2 foot diameter Pin Oak leaning over power lines. The man did not, so my friend called the police. They came and stopped him.
Got better. I show up from across town to find four guys there no shirts or PPE, having fell the oak and yelling at the home owner for $450.00. Then the guy gave them the money and asked for them to take 3 75ft White Pines down also. The " boss" told him two of them will come back at a later date and do it on the side for him. As they left they were joking about how they are going to take the guy's fence out for the hell of it.

Should I go back and ask if the home owner wants someone cert and insured to do it or should I leave it alone. Norm I would never try to take a job from anyone but the guy is about to get the shaft, mind you he is not from the USA and doesnt speak english. What should I do?
