Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

Breaking into a house with the intent to commit larceny or a felony is burglary and very serious. Why has not the police investigated your neighbor and the DA prosecuted him? As far as posting sign on the yard, well, you could be liable to your neighbor for libel, unless you have solid evidence that he did it, because truth is a defense to defamation.
