Oliver was stunned when his new neighbor revealed that he had placed the cinder blocks along his driveway. But why? Why would a brand new neighbor intentionally try to bully an elderly man?
Property Line Mishap

According to Oliver, his new neighbor had purchased the vacant lot next to him and was planning to build a house. When going over the property lines, the man discovered that his property ran into a part of Oliver’s driveway. Therefore, he decided to take it back.
No Fight Left in Him

When speaking with the local media, Oliver stated that he didn’t have much fight left and hated to be bulldozed over. According to his records, it details that two 12-foot driveways are allowed next to one another. So what could the old man do?
Reaching Out to the County

Oliver decided to reach out to a county spokesman with the hope of getting some clarity. The spokesman looked over his documents and agreed that there was nothing wrong with Oliver’s driveway; however, he did suggest getting a surveyor involved or legal authorities.
Legal Action Must Be Taken

This news stunned poor Oliver, who couldn’t believe he would have to resort to legal action to reclaim his driveway. Speaking to the news, Oliver said, “What’s he really going to do with these extra yards of concrete?”
Begging for His Driveway

Not wanting to be drawn into a long legal battle, the 79-year-old Oliver continued to make contact with his new neighbor. Unfortunately, the man refused to budge on the issue.
Minister or Sinister?

“He said he was a minister or something like that. A God-fearing man. But I don’t think that’s very Christian-like,” Oliver told the local news . We think this minister may want to open his Bible every so often.
A Long History

The Media Gets Involved

As the battle continued to draw out, the media tried to reach out to the unidentified neighbor, but he refused all calls. Is it possible he knew he was in the wrong and tormenting this poor senior man was in poor taste?
Going Viral
