A Geneva man has been fined for throwing stones into a neighbour’s garden in an effort to disrupt an autonomous mowing machine.
The 60-year-old who lives in Cartigny complained that his neighbour used the machine too often and wrote a letter saying if it ran more than twice a week at more than an hour at a time - he would throw stones onto his lawn.
He made good with his threat.
The dispute has rumbled on since 2021.
The man has been found guilty of attempted coercion and ordered to pay nearly CHF 1,000 on costs and has been given a suspended CHF 4,800 fine.
