My neighbors lost half an acre to that a couple years ago. The other
neighbor just took them to court and stole the farkin' land out from
under them. They had allowed the mule to browse there and both
neighbors put in a garden and both worked it. Then the neighbor bitch
divorced her husband and stole her neighbor's land.sigh

Gaaah!

It cost them over thirteen thousand dollars to lose that land, too.
$3.5k for the original survey, $10k for an attorney. Oh, and $2k for
fencing to keep the effin c off their land in the future.

Dayum.

When replacing a 50' fence on our present property
(first iteration), the handyman pointed out a 1'
(12") lateral "jog" which expanded our neighbor's
yard into ours. After inspecting the deed, we
agreed that the fence should be along the property
line instead. He put the new fence straight, in
it's proper place. It looks better this way.

After putting up the fence, other neighbors complained that it was in
the right-of-way of the lane next door. They had to move it 1" to 1'
in from the existing point, despite County Planning OKing the original
placement, at an additional $1,350 cost.

A good friend of the land stealer owns the property behind me. What
was once pasture land (with a small barn) now has 7 horses on it, and
a pile of **** that's often 4' deep and 30x15'. This last year, she
tripled the size of the barn so it now occupies almost the entire view
from my sliding door in the dining room. She had originally OKed me to
drop my trees onto the pasture but one day I came home to find a
scraped area directly next to my fence. She put in a horse arena and
said "Oh, no, you can't mess up my arena." The rest of the neighbors
here are friendly and supportive. There's just that bad nest of 'em.
