Neighbor damages homeowner's tree, pruning it without permission, pushing peace-seeking residents to seek revenge: ‘That was trespassing and so wildly inappropriate’

The dream of escaping to a remote location, surrounded by nature and free from the chaos of urban life, is a common fantasy. It's driven by a desire for self-sufficiency and, perhaps, the hope of avoiding neighbors who think they're the local gardening police.

In reality, even idyllic settings can't protect us from overzealous neighbors. Take the recent tale of a neighbor who hacked away at someone's fig tree without permission. It's as if they developed a superhero-like ability, complete with X-ray vision for exact measurements. They could pinpoint the exact branch and fruit that dared to cross the sidewalk boundary. With their newfound powers, they swooped in, pruning shears at the ready, to save the world from slightly overgrown foliage. The justification? A city ordinance, naturally, the ultimate superpower that gives them the right to patrol the neighborhood's greenery.
