No Boundaries
I had a neighbor who didn't like a climber that was growing on my side of a shared fence. While I was gone one day she sprayed my entire border with pesticide, killing the climber, my bedding plants, and 2 feet of adjoining lawn. I know it was her because she left the pesticide sprayer on as she walked from her property to mine! A week later there was a nice brown trail of dead vegetation that pointed from her place to mine, including a loop-de-loop around a fruit tree along the way. She had been pulling stuff like this on our neighborhood for years. So I called the police. The police cited her for trespassing and destruction of property. There's a type of person who chooses to ignore boundaries. If you or your neighbors let this go, I guarantee IT WILL NOT STOP. These people never do until they get hit upside the head with a 2 x 4. Consequences are the only thing that works.
