It seems to me that this concrete block setter upper could have gone further and put a fence..But he best have some sort of survey that would prove such a thing...Surely Mr. Lynch has some sort of property Survey??? Guess it's going to have to go civil court to clarify who has the rights here..
I have a question tho..How long has Mr. Lynch lived there?? How long has the neighbour who put these blocks in place lived there..Loads of missing background informations..So can't reply as to whether it's bullying or just plain standing one's ground on intrusion onto one's property...??
According to this TV news report, Lynch has lived in his house for 25 years.
Even if part of the driveway is across the property line, he would have a good case for adverse possession if the driveway has been there for 25 years. In any case, it sounds like he's going to have a nightmare for a neighbor.

Yup. Agree with that assessment!
Of course, it could be a 2-way street, and they each could be the other's nightmare! But glad it's not my property!
I'd love to know the guys name. I had a neighbor like that. He was ready to tear my garage down and almost yanked out a line of bushes. Unfortunately for him, his survey showed I owned more than we thought. Ironically, he moved to Florida in 2004
