Entitled resident plants trees on neighbor's property, refuses to move them to his side even after receiving legal notice, leading neighbor to cut them down: 'I hope your child doesn’t follow in your footsteps'

Sometimes, and sadly, more often than not, a feud between two people drags bystanders and innocent beings into the dramatic mix. How many of us found ourselves as kids in the middle of a feud between our parents, often even demanded to choose sides? How many times have we been subjected to listening to a fight between two passengers on the bus, even though we have nothing to do with either of them?

Every time a feud like that happens, there are always going to be those who are affected by it, but shouldn't be. It could be children, helpless bystanders, or, in the case of the story below, trees.

A dispute between two neighbors often means that others are going to get involved, whether they like it or not. Usually, the involvement is of other neighbors, sometimes law enforcement, and in the cases of the stories we share here, strangers online. So when the two neighbors in this story decided to use innocent trees as the subject of their disagreement, people had a thing or two to say about that…

It all started with the foolish decision of these two neighbors to agree on their property lines with a handshake, and not a formal document. When one side decided to break the verbal agreement, things got ugly, and 22 trees that were planted between the two properties were unfortunately affected by it.
