'I didn't think this would escalate but... it did': Artist refuses to lend fragile mosaic to neighbor for a dinner party, neighbor breaks in and takes it anyway sparking neighborhood feud

You never know what kind of neighbor you're going to end up with. There's the type who avoids eye contact every time you pass by, the ones who talk way more than necessary, those who throw loud parties until all hours, and then there's the kind you never actually see leave their house. The ideal situation would be living next to someone you can genuinely be friends with. You know, the kind of neighbor you can walk over to and borrow a cup of sugar from and hang out on the porch with like you're in an old-timey movie.

But some boundaries are pretty clear. You wouldn't just ask to borrow their prized family heirloom, something extremely fragile, or their 6-foot mosaic artwork they've poured hours into for an upcoming gallery show (if we're getting specific). And if they say no, you don't push it. Respect goes a long way in neighborly relations.
