update on Knuckledragger neighbor [View All]

[radfringe]

and the saga goes on...

for those not familiar with our battle: in a nutshell there's a property line dispute going on between us, neighbors in the back and knuckledragger next door - involves a driveway and right-of-way. Neighbors in the back and knuckledragger use the same right-of-way to access their homes. We don't use that driveway, but it abuts our property, and according to OUR deed, half that driveway is technically ours. Right-of-way permission was given when knuckledragger's house was originally built (this is before knuckledragger purchased the house and moved in) and the right of way extends up into property in back of knuckledragger's.

ennywho - knuckledragger had a survey done which showed his property line extends onto what we thought was our property. He then tried to put up a fence on our side, but it was stopped because it would impede the right-of-way. He did put up a fence on the otherside which did impede right-of-way for the neighbors in the backlot. These neighbors then had a survey done which showed that the right-of-way extends a bit wider and that it's actually OUR property.

soooooo- yesterday we're shoveling out our driveway, and clearing the mailboxes at the end of the driveway. I use to clear out all the mailboxes (there are 4 of them), but I don't anymore. I just cleared out the neighbor across the street, ours and the backlot neighbor. Knuckledragger flings open a window and yells "YOU F***ING DYKE! DON'T YOU THROW SNOW IN MY DRIVEWAY!" I wasn't throwing snow in his driveway, snow from the street/mailboxes was thrown on the pile on our side.

Next thing we know the Chief of Police shows up (small town we only have 2 1/2 cops). He looks at the pile of snow and snorts - knuckledragger comes running out yelling/screaming. The Chief told him to shut up. Knuckledragger then screams "You can see that pile was shoveled. I have a snowblower"

Chief: If you have a snowblower, then why haven't you cleared out your mailbox?

Knuckledragger got a bit more abusive - Chief threatened to cite him and after a few more minutes of screaming, Knuckledragger goes back into his house. The Chief leaves. The snow in front of knuckledragger's mailbox remained until the town plow came by and shoved it into his driveway.

later that day - the backlot neighbor is shoveling out his end of the driveway. (backlot neighbor was using a regular shovel made out of plastic - not a plow or snowblower) Knuckledragger comes out again screaming that the backlot neighbor is damaging his fence and he's calling the cops. Yeah, the Chief showed up again, looked at the snow, and at the "damage". The Chief asked knuckledragger if he had a magnifying glass handy because the Chief couldn't see any damage with the naked eye.

After the Chief left - knuckledragger was out there with his camera taking pictures of the supposed damage.

The backlot neighbor called us later and we compared notes about the now infamous "SNOW EVENT". backlot neighbor also told us that the local cops are very much aware of knuckledragger's behavior and that they have his number.

Come spring we will be having a survey done of our property. My partner dug out a copy of our deed last night, and as near as we can figure out - we do own half that right-of-way.
