Okay, I had to zip the Word doc before it allowed me to upload it. Attached is a diagram of my and my old neighbor's house.

I have read that one of the benefits of a zero lot line is that instead of two really skinny side yards that you can't do anything with, you have one wide side yard and then no side yard at all on the other side (because the side of your house is in your neighbor's yard).
It's just a horrible idea here in San Antonio where one needs to "water" their house to keep from having foundation problems. Essentially anytime you need to do anything to your house- watering, repairs etc.. you have to knock on your neighbor's door and ask for permission to enter their yard. If you have workers coming over, you have to make sure their schedule meets your neighbor's schedule.
Oh yeah, one of those pictures of the side of of my house shows that they squirted ketchup or threw some red paint on my house in addition to the holes.
They also planted a treet right up against my foundation (made a raised bed against my foundation) and by the time I noticed it, the tree had grown into my siding and made a whole. I had to ask them several times to trim the top of the tree because it was pressing into my roof.

Looks like the diagram picture is too large for uploaded. I'll try a different way.

Holy crap that's a rat's nest Shenane.

That's one ghetto neighbor...

Glad you were able to move!

No doubt. I would be terribly upset living next to that. But it seems like an open and shut case.

1] A business being on the right side of the law does not make a business right. Remember AOL?Thieves. 2] Dan Rutherford is now on Sunday nights [every other Sunday, next time will be 05/03/09], but still the Ricci Ware show, and still KTSA 550 AM. 3] I think Mr. Dan Rutherford, due some advice he gave a caller to foreclose [there was no statement or implication from the caller that the people were behind] due to a discrepancy in viewpoint as to the amount, is an EVIL person. He's a thief, there is no way to leave a message at his office if you call outside office hours. He is also, like many attorneys, a liar, who ignores the complete story. Mr. Rutherford belongs in jail, he needs to go to jail, directly to jail, and make no attempt to collect $200 on his way. His advice to the young man to foreclose was EVIL and directly from Satan, and it is legalized theft.

Guys,
I live in NH state.

Is it worth going to Small claims court to get the money lost in eBay transaction of $394 ? And all these Fees, Attorney cost, small claim filing fee etc. The seller is NOT answering calls or emails. He has made the money and is already on the run.

I am wondering, should I open a case for $394 ? or take the loss and forget about it.

Thanks for answering, once again.

You'd have to come to court in SA to press the case - IMO, not worth it.

sn008, why don't you just count your loss and let it go? I understand how it feels to be scammed. Best thing a person can do is put it in the back of their mind as quickly as possible... for sanity purposes.
