Went on to tell me Lake county called him to say when house was built the villages made a mistake on property line and he owned the property..( WTH).

I looked up on county site for info and found nothing. I just paid for a survey 3 months ago which included maps.

What can I do? I’m ****ed he took my stakes and destroyed my flags. Help!
It sounds like he didn't say anything to you prior to pulling up the survey stakes. If that's the case he is really is a jerk and deserves to be charged. Not sure what to say about the survey. Does the survey have legal status? Is the company that did it culpable for any damages if it's wrong? I should think the county would have some information on this.
Hope someone can give you some accurate answers. Hope you don't need an attorney but it might come to that.
