What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio.
Hello, I recently purchased a property that has some ugly little trees/bushes/shrubs (I'm not sure what they technically are) along our fence line.
I decided to trim one down today because I do not want the rabbits that have been visiting it to make a nest and have my dog hurt them.
Anyways, there are vine type things growing along my neighbor's fence and they have spread out over to the bush I was trimming. I didn't realize at first because I started cutting on my side but when I was pulling the cut branches, I was also forcibly pulling the vines so they would break off and allow my branches to fall.
Once I was able to reach the fence line I eventually noticed that there was a yellow wire going along his fence and part of it was broken.
When the gentleman originally introduced himself he said he had an invisible fence; he did not say that it wasn't buried like a normal one.
I have not told my neighbor that I may have possibly broke his invisible fence because I'm not sure it was entirely my fault and it could have potentially been broken before I went out today... granted I know that's probably not the case.
If this becomes an issue; what are my options?
Thank you
