If the local LEO being sympathetic to the other guy is not a red flag that you would be viewed as a bad guy if you attempted self-help, I don't know what is.

You have a lawyer, what does s/he say about your rights?

I don't know anything about the law in your area, but it sounds like the other guy trespassed or maybe even committed a burglary. The police should take a report regardless of how they want to classify it.

The other thing I don't know is whether you have a castle doctrine or stand-your-ground law in your state on top of general self-defense law. That could come into play here if someone were to go on someone else's property without consent.

Don't let frustration cloud your judgment.
