Probably not. I guess we'll never know.
The bylaw officer did call me back just now. He said that he gave them notice to move both the truck and the giant snow plow blade. They didn't and claimed they were having problems finding a tow truck (oddly enough). He served them notice again today and said if they didn't move it by next week then he'll move both things himself. I guess I was interpreting the bylaw correctly.

Reading everything in the thread, I concluded that:
1) your neighbour is one of the dirt people
2) you must have little experience living among humans
You don't have to pay for half the fence, and I completely understand your POV, but in the long run it's much better to pay some token amount ($250-500), assuming it's a good fence - after all you have a fence, and it's always wise to have at least a decent relationship with the people who live next to you. Your neighbour no doubt knows who the source of the by-law notice is - now you have to watch out for kipperfan's methods being applied to you. Who wants to live like that?
