Really bummed out. Then I'd move it. (And that would be the end of having those neighbors over for cocktails.)

But that's not the situation here. No one is asking for the home to be moved, and the home sounds relatively simple to move if someone ever did ask.

In a way, adverse possession advocates are promoting the reverse situation--imagine how you would feel if you owned a home for 15 years, and you suddenly get a knock on your door that a piece of your land is about to be taken by your neighbor and even best case you now need to drop a few thou on a lawyer?
