Swamphunter Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I have stayed out of this because I respectfully disagreed with some of the initial responses. You claim that there was no intent to trespass but you have left evidence that when he finds it, will think he has a "trespasser". That is a normal repsonse to whats been given him. He then starts asking around til he gets to you and then and only then you confess? He now thinks that you have something to hide. I would drive right up his driveway, knock on his door, shake his hand and explain what happened. I would assure him it was an accident, thats why you were at his door and that it wouldn't happen again. I would then offer him assistance in retrieving the ribbons if he was concerned about it. Now he sees that you are a stand up guy and met no wrong... JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie65 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I would also go talk to him. Just let him know what happened , apologize for it & see what he has to say. I would think he would appreciate your honesty. Agree that once he finds the flagging , if he asks you about it, looks like were trying to hide it. Probably a good thing it was before today or somebody could have been in stand. Good Luck, don't think you will have any problems by being honest and upfront with him. Might even help you guys develop a friendship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeaveragehunter Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Let it be unless he approaches you sounds like the right choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I know these kind of threads can get emotionally charged so I've stayed away until now. Most of the time the situation asks for a "What would you do"? and it seems that the threads always divide down the middle into two camps so to speak. Instead of giving you my opinion I'll ask you some questions: 1. Has this neighbor ever said anything directly to you to make you believe he "wants to be left alone"??? 2. Do you own a GPS??? 3. Have you ever marked your property line??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dance.and.shoot Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 As I've thought more about it, I've changed my mind. I'd go up and talk to him. I know if I was in his situation, I'd want the person to come and talk to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
