Hello. We've had an ongoing property line dispute with an adjoining neighbor. Some of the survey pins are non existent (yes, we probably need the property line re surveyed.) This issue surfaced over a year ago, then everything went quiet.
The main issue is, the neighbor thinks around 3' of our paved driveway is on her property. We disagree and think the entire drive is on your property. We have been sparring back and forth for over a year.
Late friday afternoon, I was in the garage when a police officer pulled in. He said that the neighbor called in a trespassing complaint, one of our cars was parked on the drive right the edge, neighbor complained that it was intentional trespassing.
The officer caught me off guard and without my reading glasses. he presented me some paperwork the neighbor had provided, including a copy of a 'cease and desist' letter that I quickly glanced over and not paying attention to any date. Again, off guard and without glasses, I was trying to quickly process the docs and my mind was in a a bit of a scramble.
Regarding the cease and desist letter, the officer asked if I had received it via signed receipt mail. I said that "no', I have not received any such letter from this neighbor. We moved on about this and started to go through some of the other paperwork. I excused myself and went inside to get my glasses.
Came back out, talked a few minutes more with officer, then he left. Kind of let it be but just this sunday morning, I was going through some paperwork regarding this matter and came across a cease and desist letter sent from the neighbor, over 11 months ago. My jaw dropped/ in speaking with the officer friday, being off guard and mostly without my reading glasses, I had assumed that he was referring to some cease and desist letter sent recently, NOT over almost a year ago! I swear the officer was referring to the 'now', not the past, but I'm not sure, and quite frankly might of misunderstood the gentleman
I want to call this officer Monday and clear the air with an explanation that I mistakenly thought this cease and desist letter was being refered by the officer as a recent document, and that I found a copy in my file showing that, yes we received a cease and desist 11 months ago, and not sound like a blubbering liar. honesty and straightforwardness means a lot to me, and in my confusion, gave an incorrect answer and want to correct my statement
Thanks, Lloyd
