I got into a border affair with my neighbor so he exacted the most ridiculous revenge and sawed my garage in HALF
A homeowner decided to settle a minor dispute with his neighbor by sawing his garage in half.
Gabriel Brawn went to work with a truck-mounted cutting tool after claiming the outhouse was partially on his property.

The builder had two surveyors determine that some of the land was property belonging to his property, sources say Bangor Daily News.
TikTok account neighborhood disputes reposted the May 2020 line three years later — on May 22.
The video received hundreds of comments from people praising Gabriel for the clean and crisp garage cut, though he called it a small move.
One wrote: “I can almost guarantee he didn’t start that neighbor war but he did checkmate and split a garage in half. That’s great.”
“While this pruning work was extremely impressive, it was also extremely petty. Just sell them the land at a price well above market value,” commented another.
A third user shared about Gabriel’s situation when he did the same.
“I had to do the same thing in Nebraska, had to be done and is perfectly legal. Well done buddy,” he said.
Gabriel lives in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine with his wife, Tracy Brawn.
Tracy told the media that since moving back into Gabriel’s childhood home in 2012, she and her family have had a contentious relationship with their neighbors.
Decades ago, the Grove Street property included the property on which the infringer’s garage was located, but now it belongs to a neighboring property.
The two houses coexisted peacefully until the newer property’s previous owner, Steve Ritter, died in 2016.
The Brawns attempted to purchase the property from Ritter’s wife, Theresa Laythe-Ritter, who took over management of the property after her husband’s death.
“If the father [Steve Ritter] “I was alive, that was the perfect place to live,” Tracy said, according to the Bangor Daily News.
“As soon as that poor man died, there was madness and chaos in this place.”
Tensions escalated before reaching their peak with the saw incident in the garage.
The Brawns had called in a surveyor who determined that the property line ran right down the middle of the garage.
The Ritters then moved out shortly thereafter.
Her youngest son came back to ask the Brawns if they could get his father’s ashes from the garage.
“We said please do it. “We want our property back because we’ve been paying taxes on it for years,” Tracy said.
“But he went there and started throwing trash everywhere, smashing glass, taking offices and throwing them outside in the yard.”
The next day, Gabriel returned with a Sawzall, a type of machine-powered saw.
“We’re putting up a fence. “Fences are good neighbors,” Tracy continued.
“We learned that from it.”
Georgia neighbor Donna also had to take matters into her own hands as she brutally retaliated against the neighbor couple who complained about their fence.
Though she had no choice but to comply with county ordinances, the savvy woman cited a different bylaw that allowed her to paint the fence across from her home a contrasting neon color.
