This is really messed up

NEIGHBORS HATED THE COLOR OF MY HOUSE AND REPAINTED IT WHILE I WAS AWAY — I WAS ENRAGED & TOOK MY REVENGE.
My house is on a corner lot. Two years ago, a newlywed couple moved in next door and immediately made weird comments about my house's yellow color. Soon, they outright DEMANDED I paint it a different color. My house has always been yellow; I love it, and there's no rule against it.
They called the police and the city on me, but both told them to back off since I hadn't done anything wrong. They even tried suing me (the suit got tossed, and they had to pay my legal fees) and attempted to rally our neighbors to form an HOA to force me to repaint. Our neighbors told them to get lost, so now they're alienated by everyone.
I had to go out of town for two weeks, and when I got back, my house was GRAY. I almost drove past it because I'm so used to my yellow house. The neighbor from across the street came over and showed me pictures he took of the painting company setting up and doing the work. He and another neighbor called the police, but the painting company had a valid work order and had been paid, so the police couldn't do anything.
It seemed everything done to my house was legal and no damage was done. But I was enraged and planned my revenge. Next day, I⬇️⬇️

@NinaTina I hope it was a really ugly shade of yellow that looks like a sinus condition.

I'd also sue the people that did it for the cost of my paint

I would think that painting someone's house (or paying a painter to paint someone's house) without their permission is vandalism.

Okay, so you repainted your house back to yellow, but did you press charges on your neighbours for criminal damages and claim back your expenses? Too many questions left unanswered in this story.
