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!
Further thoughts,"bought a house that was built 4 years ago." Perhaps, the people who bought it new decided to move due to issues with the neighbor.

The devil is in the details. The op does not say the neighbor is a Villager. Surely, people around the villages are not all pleased with the villages intruding on what was.
