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!

When you bought the house, you should have paid a fee for title insurance. The title company reviewed and approved the legal description of your parcel. The legal description specifies the boundaries of your parcel. The surveyors used this description to place the stakes prior to your closing.
You should contact the title company because they signed off on the legal description. Ultimately, I'm guessing you may also need an attorney.
