Yes it is illegal. You could sue them for trespass to chattels (property damage) in either small claims court (if you want to do it yourself), or you could hire an attorney and sue them in district court. Gather all the witnesses and evidence you can before making your case so you are prepared for the hearing.
If my answer is satisfactory please accept it. I greatly appreciate positive feedback.
Please be aware that my answer is not legal advice, it is merely information. You and I have not entered into an attorney/client relationship. The only way that I am legally responsible for your legal rights is if you have signed a written retainer agreement with my law firm.
