New Neighbor encroaches 9 inches over existing boundary, loses 20 feet after landowner orders survey: 'Homeboy should have just let sleeping dogs lie...'

Sometimes, it's better to just leave well enough alone. By making an issue about what you "do or don't" have when you're, well… wrong—you're more than likely to end up with less than you started with in the first place. Especially, as it turns out when you're disputing what you think is the boundary of your new property… Because, as in this story, the neighbor who has been there for longer probably knows a thing or two about why that "boundary" was established in the first place

As at any point in life, it's always best to be kind even if being friendly isn't an option, especially when you're neighbors with the person who you should be being kind to and quite literally landlocked onto adjacent properties with them. A property that moving from would quite literally require uprooting your entire life.
