Then sue, for crying out loud. What are you waiting for?? I know some people are a little bit "nervous" or timid about such things, but if you don't stand up for your rights, who will?

Oh boy....Forget all that, sue for criminal damage. Ask a solicitor, not the idiot who said you'd be liable if you damaged the cable, about suing the neighbours too.

Hang on a minute... earlier in the thread you said your builder neighbour (he) was around and supposedly challenged the installers. Now, you're saying it's his wife that was there. Which is it?
Are you sure it wasn't you who gave permission after all, then thought better of it once it was done?
If you are the innocent party, as it seems, then stand up for your rights. Sue for criminal damage and I certainly wouldn't have a beer with a neighbour who allowed this to happen, unless I was pouring it over them.
I suspect this won't be the last "issue" with your "nice" neighbours. Check the deeds to your house and if its allowed, get a fence up quick before the next incident!!
PS: Just to check, has the "nice" neighbours ever offered you any recompense for this themselves, or offered to lay down new turf? I think I know what the answer will be...?
