How much did lawyering up cost your friends Svelte?
Also curious the OP said the neighbors had sprinlkers that sprayed their car and “( were there for a while before we bought home)” and “didn’t really have a good fence” Did it have a dilapidated fence? Chain linK? what’s the relationship from the fence to the sprinklers?
Also curious, the roses they cut? Were they yours or theirs? Or in the disputed zone that you now say is yours due to the property survey courtesy of sprinklers obviously, been in effect ‘theirs’.
As for the didn’t really have a good fence. Did it have any fence? Or is this an open side yard?
Really it just highlights challenges of unclear property boundaries.
