Mr. Johnson was livid the next morning and accused me of trespassing and vandalism. I stayed calm and showed him my photos, videos, and property boundaries evidence that backed up every step I’d taken. He had no choice but to back off. I consulted a lawyer, who assured me I was legally in the right. That gave me the peace of mind I needed after such a bold move.
A few days later, to my surprise, Mr. Johnson came over and apologized. He admitted he only had a verbal agreement with the previous owner and offered to rebuild entirely on his side. We weren’t suddenly friends, but we reached a civil understanding. Over time, we exchanged polite words and even occasional help. I didn’t just reclaim my garden I proved I could stand strong, even when tested.
