Neighbor running power on my property?

Just short it out. Quickly splice in, run conduit to your garage and consider it a done deal.
Bonus if it's 240v.

You can use it to charge potentially frozen car batteries.

Ya, burying power to a shed is not permitted. Had a friend try this route and was told to pound sand, but an extension cord above ground is fine for this. I’d tell neighbour it has to go or the city will get involved.

Really? A buddy of mine just built a shed in Cranston and buried the power to that. Although, maybe he didn't need a permit and he just YOLO'ed?

[mr2mike]

Would call before you dig to get stuff marked.

Define shed.
Garage?
Mustang storage facility?
A place for neighbourhood kids to whack off?

Yea I just run an ugly ass ext chord into my shed to keep batteries charged.

You probably want to run Cat6 (2 minimum) and 30 Amp power for your EV riding mower and massive Home Theatre and hot-tub setup. Otherwise, what are you even doing with your shed and entire life?

They found it, however it also runs with the other utilities coming into the property so it was assumed to be part of everything else, but it's not

Just a shed typical wooden shed that has a light on the outside and unsure on the inside

How sure are you about your actual property line? It's possible the property line is not exactly where you think it is and that could explain the power cable being trenched where it currently is along with it not being on your title...

I have a zero property line house, so it would be tough for someone to fuck that up that much
It's definitely not a screw up based on how it got run, not I'm curious however if it ties into my power, I plan to flick breakers later to see if their shed light goes out, if it does I'm cutting it

Check to see if it is live using a non-contact voltage tester before anything else.

Ever notice any skunky smells coming from your neighbour's house? Maybe they are actually stealing your power lol

Pulled a reverse of what I said earlier and been hosing the neighbour for decades because it sounds like only something you could do when place was originally built and the utilities were installed.

Midnapore has zero lot lines... similar to op

If they're tied into your power, it's not hitting one of your breakers.

I mean, I make a better doctor than electrician but you get my drift?

Let's see some pics and pics of the wire gauge.
Maybe a banana for scale for old times sake.

I like this. Make sure to catch electrons in garbage bags.

How long does it take to charge a beaver to 80% capacity on 220V?

Can you make a sketch OP? I'm trying to figure out why he would do that? Like if you have a normal straight property line, why would it run from his house, cross into your property, then run back? It makes no sense. Unless maybe he ran into a giant boulder between his house and his shed.
