A WOMAN has been left fuming after claiming part of her fence went missing - before alleging it was found burnt in her neighbour's back garden.

And in a shocking video, the St Helens, Lancashire mum claimed she then found the missing piece in the neighbour's yard.

Taking to TikTok, Emma said: "So, I was doing my dishes my morning and looked out my window.

"One of my fence panels is missing.

"I went outside to investigate what was going on."

Emma walked down to the back of her garden, where she said the missing panel had been.

Poking her phone camera through the gap, Emma claimed that her neighbour had used the fence panel as firewood in a garden bonfire.

"Thanks very much Russell - second time now!"

"Trust me, it's my fence. I bought and replaced the last panel he burned."

She described herself as "livid", branding Russell the "neighbour from hell".

It's unclear whether Russell had anything to do with taking or burning the fence, or whether he owns the land the fence was built on.

If so, he may have been within his rights to take the panel down for his own uses.

People were divided about the bizarre neighbourly spat.

Des said: "We need to hear Russell's version of events.

"Until then, I'm on the fence."

Another man said: "Don't take a fence."

Mark said: "Did Russell also take your power washer? Your patio needs cleaning.

"Let me know if you want a quote."

Fences are a growing source of disputes between neighbours and it can be particularly tricky if one was built or taken down behind your back.
