So. Neighbors that called the city to complain about the house and property took it upon themselves to Bush hog the back taking several young trees I actually wanted to keep.

We have a call into a surveyor. That's now been bumped up in priority status.

Grrrr.

I know they thought they were helping, but goddammit.

I found them at his mother's house and let them know that I appreciated the effort, but to please ask first because there were plants back there I wanted to save. :/
