AliceAndBob are neighbors, and they hate each other. One day, Alice goes to a government office and finds a city map that shows her property extends well past the fence between them. Alice will begin commandeering anything of Bob's that falls into their property. A tree, a workshed, the TV in his living room, etc.

* There was once an issue of ''Disney Magazine'' that had this happen to DonaldDuck. He finds a bricked-up doorway in his cellar, behind which is a chest of valuable antique coins. He sells them, and goes on a spending spree, only to have his neighbour come by with a map proving that anything behind the bricked-up door is actually on ''his'' property. All of Donald's fancy new furniture is repossessed, and immediately re-purchased by the neighbour, so Donald has to make do with some old chairs found in the main part of the cellar. [[spoiler: Turns out the chairs are even more valuable than the coins were.]]

* In the classic Polish comedy ''Sami Swoji'' two families end up in a FeudingFamilies situation because a Kargul plowed '3-fingers-width' deep into land claimed by the Pawlaks. The eldest Pawlak son retaliates by hitting the Kargul with a scythe and then flees to America. Decades later the two families need to cooperate to survive the aftermath of World War 2 but the patriarchs still occasionally break the peace when they get into silly property disputes over things like who owns the cat that hunts the rats in their sheds.

* The episode involving LawsuitFever in ''Series/DoctorQuinnMedicineWoman'' involves Dorothy, who owns and operates the local newspaper, finding out that her property actually extends into the area where Grace has set up her cafe. This sets up a rift between the two friends, and they soon find themselves going to court over it. Since the original judge ends up not being able to get into town, Dr. Mike has to be the judge. She ends up ruling that since the commonly accepted property boundary has been assumed for so long--even when the newspaper office was purchased--the area belongs to Grace.

* ''Literature/NightWatchDiscworld'': Sam Vimes alludes to this trope while musing on the difference between what the police ''can'' do and what people ''think'' they can do:
--> "Keep the peace. That was the thing. People often failed to understand what that meant. You’d go to some life-threatening disturbance, like a couple of neighbors scrapping in the street over who owned the hedge between their properties, and they’d both be bursting with aggrieved self-righteousness, both yelling, their wives would either be having a private scrap on the side or would have adjourned to a kitchen for a shared pot of tea and a chat, and they all expected you to Sort It Out.
--> "And they could never understand that it wasn’t your job. Sorting it out was a job for a good surveyor and a couple of lawyers, maybe. Your job was to quell the impulse to bang their stupid fat heads together, to ignore the affronted speeches of dodgy self-justification, to get them to stop shouting, and to get them off the street. Once that had been achieved, you job was over. You weren’t some walking god, dispensing finely tuned natural justice. Your job was simply to bring back peace.
--> "Of course, if your few strict words didn't work and Mr Smith subsequently clambered over the disputed hedge and stabbed Mr Jones to death with a pair of gardening shears, then you had a different job, sorting out the notorious Hedge Argument Murder. But at least it was one you were trained to do."

Cogswell manages to talk Spacely into buying Cogswell's building, which George discovers is 6 inches too tall and has to be dismantled, only to find out that Spacely got stuck buying Cogswell's building which has to be torn down.
