Our neighbours are having some work done that required scaffolding on our property. We were fine with that but they turned up a week early and set up whilst I wasn't in. When I got back, they had put a solid plank right on top of a huge 3ft x 3ft plant of our completely destroying it. I am really upset as I loved that plant and had been nurturing it for 6 years, it was absolutely beautiful and is now smashed to pieces. Neighbours were very apologetic and spoke to the builder who in turn spoke to the scaffolding people. They have said they will 'put it right' once the work is done but honestly, they cant put it right. I have a feeling they will try to fob me off by buying a new plant, but you cant buy them that established and there is no guarantee it will take. Also, the sheer disrespect of destroying property not even belonging to the people they are working for has made me really angry to be honest What do you think is a reasonable 'demand' for me to make from them to make up for this? I plan to wait as see what they offer first but don't want to be taken for a ride with this as, as silly as it sounds, this really upset me
