    funny. the ones i have from ukraine are literally doing this with the space between our houses. slowly inching a series of small engines, auto repair stuff, snowblowers, etc. would be fine if my bedroom and head was not directly on the other side of the wall.

      hire a surveyor and a trash company while they’re at work, if you don’t defend your property eventually it legally stops being yours.

      they know what they’re doing.

          i’d go tell them as nice as possible, then throw everything away and set up a camera….
          then a fence in the spring.
          but i’m sure you’ve given it more thought than me

        Adverse possession takes at least 10 years in most places.

        Acknowledging that they are using your property and not enforcing your boundaries eventually leads to them being able to claim that property as theirs.

            It’s an analogy for Russia invading Ukraine and demanding their land in exchange for “peace”

              Or it’s just an ironic anecdote. It IS kind of funny that a Ukrainian immigrant would steal land because of what’s happening in their home country

            because the op image references russia and its relationship with its neighbor, ukraine.
