Had a chain link fence on my property, set back to be sure I was not on next door property. No surveying yet, but my property is “higher up” then next property. Came home one day, chain link fence was gone, and nicer looking wooden fence was up there, but moved closer to my house!
Talked to lawyer, he said “be nice”(no charge!!!)...so I got property surveyed...talked nicely to neighbor...he agreed to move it back to property lines, and I helped him to pay a bit for the move..Upshot, got better looking fence...and a bit more land than I had with chain link fence...overall a draw, but my neighbor and I have a congenial relationship instead of antagonistic....
YOU MESS WITH FENCING FOR LIVESTOCK & YOU ARE COMMITTING A FELONY.
That includes coming thru a gate & leaving it open.
I ran a known drug dealer off my N Calif property when he did THAT-—WITH my 12 ga.
