I have to disagree with a previous post about calling 911. 911 is for emergencies and while cutting wood illegally isn't right and I don't like it either, it isn't an emergency.
My ex is a 911 operator and the calls they get that just take up time are amazing. Such as "Can you tell me the time, I can't find my smartphone". Or the one that really takes the cake: There was a severe thunderstorm in progress in the entire area. Power was out in a large part of the area. The call comes in "My power is out, can you send a deputy sheriff out here with some charcoal so my husband won't have to eat a cold meal".
