Let it go.
You basically threw it out (in front of house for free). Once you've given it away, you don't really have any say over what happens to it.

At least they didn't spray it with flex seal and use it as a boat.

On the upside, it looks really solid. It will last years in the current configuration. You have my blessing when the "next storm" hits. Burning it would have been better for your head. Sorry about this for you. Tables have sentimental value. I'm typing on a $9 value ranch oak drop leaf table my Dad bought in maybe '64. My four year old brother said to my Dad after we looked at a bunch of used ones, "Daddy, why don't you just buy a good table". Best let it go.

one of my office supervisors took out a bunch of wooden office furniture. he laid it in front of our dumpsters blocking the truck pickup. he told me, "someone will claim them"
on the day of the garbage pickup, i took a sledge hammer to it and broke it all down to managable sized pieces and dumped it all. the boss guy sees the stuff missing and said, "see? i know what i am talking about. told you someone would want the stuff". my entire office rolled their eyes in unison. i replied with a "hmm-um"

Wow - worse treatment than I expected - it's only providing support to the pallet.
I would have donated it to my local Goodwill/Salvation Army and claimed the $200 deduction and gotten my $50 in tax benefit.

^^^ They also built a mountain bike course that circles the house. More skids for jumps and a banked corner that ended up being on my property. Lots are 50’ wide.

Nah, get piss over that? Let it go. Don't be that guy. Tell you a story. I bought a house with three section of its foundation broken on a hillside. People looked at it and ran away fast. We came to an agreed price, and the owner's kids (owner passed) tells me they grew up in that house and the only condition was that I sign a weaver that I will restored the house to its original condition and nothing more. Windows and front doors are not to be changed. It was a POS build in the 40s with poor floor plan. Yeah right. I signed it jsut to make em' go away so don't be that guy. It is sad to see what they did with your perfectly good table.

Wait until it's dark then tear up their mountain bike track with a motocross bike. When they come around to complain the next day just sit on your porch drinking beer and say "I don't know what yer talking about." |

Makes me cringe to look at that "dock." That would not last on this shore.

 You miss the point. That could have been another's table that his neighbor threw in the lake. The table and the pallet top dock are a fking eye-sore.
