Today, I found out that my neighbors took it upon themselves to knock down the fence we shared, and putting up a new one. Thus fencing my pool into their yard. When I asked them why, he replied, "We thought you weren't coming back." I was gone for 4 months tending to my sister with breast cancer. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I met my new neighbors. The first thing they did was build a fence. FML
Today, I explained to my new neighbors that my kids will continue to use the pool in the backyard as they have for years. The neighbor immediately said my kids are not welcome in her yard and she is building a fence. I don’t know how to explain to my sweet babies they no longer have their pool. FML
Today, I came home from vacation, only to find my neighbours relaxing on my patio, and their kids swimming in my pool. FML
Today, my neighbor yelled at me because her two kids got into my pool. They scaled a two-meter wall to get to my backyard. They used a tree in her yard that hangs over the wall. I guess I could install razor wire on top of the wall. FML
Today, I found out that while I was on vacation my neighbor had let my brother into my apartment. I don't have a brother. FML
Today, I went to visit my parents after 4 years of not seeing them. They'd moved without telling me. FML
Today, I went to check if my neighbours were home to return their dog, having looked after her for a few days. I looked in the window and the place was empty. They'd moved house and stuck us with their dog. FML
Today, I agreed to lend my daughter's inflatable pool to my neighbor for the day. Barely an hour later, I witnessed his son jump off their balcony, missing the pool by inches. He's now in hospital, and my neighbor has sworn to sue me, saying I'm responsible because the pool is mine. FML
Today, I finished a fence around my house that I have been working on all week. About an hour after I finished, a water company truck pulled into my driveway. They told me they would have to take down my fence to make repairs on a water pipe. FML
Today, I came back home to find that my house had been robbed, one week after my neighbors. I was walking around my neighborhood to see if anything was suspicious, and discovered that my neighbors had put up a sign, reading: "Rob the neighbors, THEY don't have a security system." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

They... essentially stole your pool...? This is just bizarre. In what universe would anyone, from any walk of life, think this is okay?

Um, maybe you should take them to court if attempts to resolve this don't go over well. They can't just move the boundary of their property. They have to have a bunch of stuff to do that. And since you never consented to it, there is no way they could have legally done so. FYL OP.

Sue them for trespassing, destruction of property and being dumb beyond belief. That should teach them something.

It's all about you, isn't it? You're so selfish -- you lost a pool, wah, wah, wah! Your sister lost her ****! ****! Everyone loves **** and your poor sister lost hers! Get some perspective.

Wow. You have got to be kidding me. This person went to help their sister to come back and discover that their neighbors had done something so idiotic as to literally steal his pool. Maybe you should think about the fact that when you are taking care of someone with breast cancer for four months seeing then in that pain and struggling like that, then they come home expecting to have some peace to discover their neighbors having done something that stupid that they have to deal with now, you might be feeling pretty crappy. Have pitty on this person and seriously don't start calling them selfish when they gave up four months of their life to help their sister. Get some perspective dude.

93 - you don't know perdix I take it? - always joking around. Granted this time people were going to take the comment seriously given the severity of op's situation. OP, your neighbors are completely in the wrong. Even if you had never come back and sold the house, didn't they figure they'd get in trouble when the real estate agent would come by and notice the pool "missing" from the property? That piece of property has to have been listed somewhere in the city plans or in their own records as having a pool. They're really idiotic. I hope you get it all fixed and back to normal. And I hope your sister gets better.

The OP spent four months of his time helping his sister recover. He went home, only to discover that his nighbors stole his pool. A pool's not cheep, rather expensive accualy...I own a 20' by 40' pool. It cost $20,000... It was a cheeper model. How about you buy a pool and have it installed in your yard, leave for a few months, and come back to a fence claiming half your yard and your pool that your neighbors put up.
