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 all sounds infuriating. In the interest of building a relationship or getting an understanding of your neighbor maybe a simple offering of a small gift would soften him into having a conversation while he’s not upset. Does he have his survey that makes him think the property line is his? See if you can find out what will make this right for him if the surveyor is indeed correct. Your survey company may be open to come back as a courtesy to you and double check that line.
Sorry you’re having to go through this. It’s maddening. Good luck. 🍀
