Take photo's of where the stakes are... and confirm that IT IS IN FACT PROPERLY MARKED WITH A STATEMENT FROM THE SURVEVORS... SHOW YOUR NEIGHBOR... AND TELL THEM DO NOT PULL THE STAKES UP...BUT YOU DO WANT TO RESOLVE THE PROPERTY LINE SO EVERYONE WILL BE HAPPY.

Once you get it remarked take photos holding measuring tape from house to stake and so on....if he yanks them out again you will have proof.
Best of luck...keep us posted.

Sounds like he’s going to be a joy to live next door to. :ohdear:
This what they don't tell you about the people in the villages are like. That is why you have to due your due diligence before you buy and check the talk of the Visages website

That won't make it any easier on the OP to be living next door to him, but maybe provide a bit of understanding I suppose.

Well, if it is the problem he will soon forget about it?:faint:

Your neighbor won’t be able to pull that up, and you can get a can of surveyor paint at Lowe’s or Home Depot to keep the mark visible.
I hope the neighbor don’t have shovel?:shocked:

Update: Thank you everyone for the good advice.

Called the surveyor and told them what has happened. He did explain he knew the history of the property. Yes many years back a mistake was made on the property line boundary. It was corrected legally. Also said in the ground , dig thru grass there are steel markers used in villages for property boundaries.

He assured us the survey he just did was correct and was going to call the neighbor and explain that the dispute was settled many years ago and current stakes are correct and was registered at time of sale with county.

Glad you got satisfaction. For you’re sake I hope the neighbor accepts it and can move on?

Thanks for giving an update, that doesn't happen often.

Anyone have a metal detector who could help find the stakes?

The content of this post is surpassed only by the proofreading.

Are there multiple metal stakes marking the property line along the entire length of one's property or is there just one at the street line (which was how it was up north in 1953)? I'd like to find our property line about half way between front and back on one side to check something. Any idea what a survey costs to mark off just one side of one's home?

I read all 7 pages and am so happy that this worked out in your favor. Lots of helpful information and comments on this thread.

NOTHING like a beautiful Happy Ending. I'm thrilled for you.

Being from the NE would have either solved the problem or made it explode into something where a lawyer was a necessity.

When i purchased my house the lawn people removed my survey markers. I ask that the survey company replace them. They were out in 24hours and did so with no complaints. They get a lot o business form The Villages.

Interesting potential resolution. The crabby, stake stealing neighbor was partially right. There was a screw up years ago. He's not nearly as crazy as he seemed at first impression. That's as far as his being right goes.
Those metal pipes will be on the corners. You will have to scrape and dig around for them. But, they are there. You may have to get the surveyor to come out and find them if you can't find a metal detector. The ones by the street should be the easiest to find.
I liked the idea of using marking paint for a few weeks to delineate the location stakes. Just remember to go mark the area with paint after the lawn is mowed. I go behind the surveyor and replace the wooden stakes with buried four to six inch length of metal pipe.
With a little grace, you might even make a friend. I bet he'll be embarrassed by his geezerly actions. Ask him over for a beer on the veranda. Maybe he's entertaining in other ways. There is always hope.

I use PVC pipe in my yard. Easy to cut and a lawn mower doesn't get damaged if they are up to high.

Yesterday the man who owned property next door came over to tell me my survey stakes were wrong and he owned the land. He informed me he pulled them out and removed my flags for my dog fence. 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!
“ 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 would get the name of the Lake county official from him.
He’s prolly a liar.
