You're not alone, further north where the horse farm is, there is a neighbor trying to lay claim to our driveway, its a frivolous claim but people can be such arrogant pompous jerks and waste others time and money, this time, its on them to prove their case, lot of details in our favor, and we know the truth, whats right, yet they still have to try, thats what gets me. We will not spend a dime on proving what we know and have documented what is ours.
I've been through it here, got the cuffs put on me for re-establishing my line and chasing the jerks off, that's when the mean streak comes out, like you said, thousands later I win, soon as I dealt with the judge I was released on my own recognizance, the surveyor arrived, fence went up as the surveyor was there, that was that, immediate closure, end of story. You should have seen the look on their faces, never expected that fence so quick. FYI, judge is a farmer and sided with me legally within his power, meaning he reduced the 2 charges, eliminated 1 fine. My atty made sure I was represented in high detail, I made sure to get this judge to do the arraignment, the other judge needed to recuse himself, a real jerk enthralled with a gavel. I had a bout with him many years ago about the towns illegal proceedings and won in court, so while in cuffs I made that happen, well I knew I had to, or he'd have put me in solitary for jaywalking if he could if you get my drift, how does the saying go, I may be dumb, but I ain't stupid LOL !! Farmer judge had to fill his obligation but is a true professional on dealing with people, I'll vote for him every time. Was it worth it, yes, but I had to take a ding on my record, just try and take my land, 80 feet of it, just try that again, people know me well around here, I don't back down, one of them got in my face threatened me with physical harm, he raised a hand, I don't take kindly to that and the reaction was not what he expected, some people underestimate you and make serious mistakes, yet they turned it on me still, and you know that s.o.b. was arrested and charged with felony assault 3 weeks later, in a local gin mill, know the owner and the city cops who took him in, so who's the jerk now, he got humbled but figured he'd lash out somewhere else I suppose, then really got humbled by those boys and yes some of them still subscribe to a good ole thrashing out of sight. I have no use for the sheriff deputy who took their side, when its your word against several, it never works, cops seem to always take their side, "just doin my job sir", so it cost me a fair amount though, more so for the fence and survey, I'll stand my ground till I'm in it !
Ironically, the homeowner I had the beef with lost the house, their tenants are fighting to get it from the county, seems they can't pay the taxes, but had all these wonderful new things like vehicles, snowmobiles, cafe racing bikes, dirt bikes, the family in there now, former tenants now, all work tough jobs to make ends meet, more my kind of people, sometimes things happen for a reason, I'm also thankful those jerks are somewhere in Florida reeling in the loss of a profitable sale on that house, lost all their equity, and profit, karma or what have you, I don't bother anyone around here ever, see what happens when you poke at the bees nest.
I hope you get it sorted out Rich, I'm sure that money could have been used for something much more important. I still cannot believe the hassle of owning a piece of land, always someone testing the boundaries that has no legitimate right to do so.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
