Neighbours have thrown my fence into my garden and caused damage

Obviously I’m not happy.
we’ve been having work done and converted the garage- extending it at single storey- this bit will now be what replaces the fence that was there (which they have thrown over damaging some pots which are on the other side)

the wooden fence that was the boundry was pushed back onto their property so my my builder could make the wall

AIBU to ask them to reimburse me for the damaged pots? From my POV the only thing I can see is that maybe they were unhappy about the surplus to requirements fence being there for a couple of weeks
?

Did you explain in advance about the fence being pushed into their property as a temporary measure? Or just let them assume you were doing a sneaky land grab?
Your mistake I think

You pushed your fence onto their property so that you could build your extension??? You should be apologising to them for being so inconsiderate!

Did you let them know ahead of time what was happening and/or apologise for encroaching on their property with your fence?

Why didn't you store the redundant fence on your own property?!
You had no right to park it in their garden.

This.
