It is good if "gurus" police one another, it is up to us, the consumer to do our own research.

Then there was the time the police got called because the drug dealer intentionally drowned their dog in the pool.

Would the city of Dallas pay for a police escort every time I visit the property?

Depending on your city/area you may have such data available from the local police department or the sheriff's department.

In polite ways, I let them know they probably should be glad their polices weren't cancelled as a result of the loss, and I couldn't find anything less expensive. 

But honestly disputes between neighbors could easily be resolved by the police. 

You could go to the property and find that some crack head was cooking in a vacant unit, after a near miss with death and the police leaving, you could get a letter in a couple days from the city condeming the property due to contamination by the crack head.

However, if you reported your license to the police as lost or stolen and you have proof that of such, you may be able to send that proof to the collection agency/municipality that is sending these letters.

Right or wrong will be in the eyes of the new owner and his offer will be dependant upon his assessment of the situation.You can either accept it, or wait until you are forced out with no cash and a possible police record depending upon how you act to the police who will be there to see that you leave.
