Btw , GIS mapping is what he is going by and I have just found out that NOTHING is legally binding except a current survey. I have also read about the strict standards surveyors adhere to and i now have complete confidence that muy fence is on my property and that it is he who will be responsible to obtain said current survey. So, i say
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
Well, since you gave him your gun, let's hope he plays nicely.
Here's the tricky part...i don't have the survey, nor can i find the guy that did it. The fence company has since gone out of business.
You paid for a survey, but you don't have a copy? Well....... you could wait till the neighbor goes to get a survey since YOU TECHNICALLY HAVE NO PROOF or you could go pay for another survey now to back up your claims. Without proof you don't have a leg to stand on at this point!
The fence, trees and building were all in place many years before current neighbor bought his house.
The neighbor, I'll call him Richard, had issues with his other neighbor and actually feared for his safety. Richard and i had become friends and he asked if i had a gun he could borrow. I lent him one (i don't need you to tell me how stupid that was - i had genuine concern for his safety). Anyway, after almost 2 years, i asked for the gun back and he EXPLODED. Seriously, he went nuts, yelling and threatening, it was crazy. The only thing i can figure is there had been a period of about a month that we didn't talk.... nothing wrong, just neither of us had anything to say, i guess. Anyway, i guess he got his feelings hurt. That's all i can come up with
Why didn't you call the police to have your gun returned? I'm assuming you have it registered, correct?

I'm proposing a supplement to Godwin's law.

No. Without proof, the neighbor has nothing to stand on.
No. Without proof, the neighbor has nothing to stand on.
And if the OP had ordered & retained a proper survey he could rest easy and call it a day.
But the OP didn't do that... did he?
What he has is a neighbor who could be proven to be right
and if so will be in a position to cost the OP a whole lot more than just the cost of the survey.
Which btw, he will also have to pay for then.
The $300 or so (maybe even $500) that it costs should have happened a decade ago.
He gets to spend that money now.

GIS mapping is a handy feature but not always truly accurate. See if the county has your survey copy.
Yeah, GIS maps can be overlaid over aerial maps and other drawings that can come from any number of sources. They almost never line up accurately.
There may be a survey on file at your county courthouse. Regardless, just let your neighbor pay for one on his property. Till then, ignore him.
I was an early contributor to this thread and pretty much everyone who followed echoed about it being the neighbor's responsibility and filled in what I posted.
But I got to thinking. What if the neighbor is "that guy" who's positive he's right and starts tearing things up? It could get very ugly very quickly without OP having a survey.
