    Parents remove fence and lets kids play on open land next door, new neighbors try to claim it as their own: 'They have absolutely no right to try keep my family out'

    Disputes over land can get messy, especially when the property in question isn't technically anyone's to begin with. In this case, a family moved into a new build only to discover that the neighbor next door had been treating a large council-owned reserve as their personal backyard for years. The reserve was once meant to be a road, but the council never followed through, so the empty half-acre just sat there, fenced in by a previous owner of the neighbor's property.

    The new family decided to make use of the open space. They tore down an old farm fence that sat entirely on their side of the boundary and let their kids play in the reserve. That didn't sit well with the new neighbors, who had assumed they were inheriting exclusive rights to the land. One even stormed across to yell at them before later apologizing.
