We bought a new house late last summer. The neighbors had been gardening in our parking strip, and when we moved in they come over and offered us a small part of *our own property* to garden on. No, actually, we will be taking over the whole garden. It's our garden now. We paid a lot of money for it

When I told one of them that we would be taking over the garden, they looked at me in total shock like I took something that belonged to them. He actually said to me "Well that's not what <the previous owner> intended!"
