More details to this question:
We own 3 lots in Weston, Co. 8 years ago we bought land, lot 22. Two years ago we bought 3 more lots (19,18 & 17) Shortly after we bought Lots 19, 18 & 17 we sold lot 22. The new owners of lot 22 have been telling people we no longer own the top part of lot 19. They have also been telling us to stay off of the top part of lot 19. We hired a surveyor. They called the sheriff on us and the surveyor. Three days ago I found a camera they put on our land to surveillance us on our own property. I had the surveyor come back out to confirm the property line again and document that the camera was on my land. After talking with a Dep. Sheriff I took down the camera and set it on their land (lot 22) and informed them of it.

Ideally, after showing them the survey they would agree to back off. But really the only way to fully settle ths kind of dispute is through a quiet title lawsuit, whereby you seek to obtain a decree as to your rights. You can also obtain injunctive relief - that is, a court order prohiting them from interfering with your use of your land.
