I find it odd that a law firm would be judgmental in deciding the merits of a patent application, unless it performs a patent search and determines it not worthy to proceed. Likewise, I don't understand the conflict of interest response, given that a patent attorney should have no vested interest in a given patent, but only as a facilitator of the application process. Lastly, the final arbiter is the patent office.  They are the ones granting the patent; not some law firm. Why a business would reject the business they are business for eludes me.  They get paid for the process, not the resolution.

  Legally, I guess, the seller is not responsible for costs you incur on your own behalf.  You decided you wanted an inspection, not him.

  Egyptologists believe the pyramid at Giza was built in as little as 10 years.

another approach would be to slip a letter under each of your neighbor's door (unless there's a Law against that) telling them of the problem and asking them to be vigilant should the vandal damage something of theirs.  this gives notice to the vandal as well as a few extra ears and eyes.

ask her for a video showing the air escaping (put dishwashing liquid on the hole).  i wouldn't take her word without proof.
