If you damaged this cable, would you then be held responsible for criminal damage?

ScrottsAfternoon all,
I have just been to do a quote for an elderly lady to remove a cable from under a stone driveway.
Her neighbours jacked up her car and moved it off her driveway, then made a channel in her driveway, then laid their cable across her driveway to their garage.
They gave her notice of doing this which she refused. The neighbour signed the letter and then added underneath his black belt in karate title just to bully her a little more (an old lady!). Grrrrrr!
She's taking them to court.
My question is, where do I stand about removing this cable on her property. I wont be able to isolate it as it will be on the neighbours property, so basically I can't do it? Plus, the cable is not her property and it's feeding the neighbours shed.
Cheers guys.
How did they manage that?Afternoon all,

No, it's not shared. She owns her driveway. They do have a back gate that leads out on to her driveway. They then have to walk over her driveway to reach there own.Any further info, is it a shared drive etc etc out of interest?
We don't know, but this is perhaps a hint as per @pirate post as to what is permitted. The fellow is clearly charmer so perhaps a big fat quote for electrics and stand well back. I would not quote for ground works and she can hire a few big labourers to do that bit perhaps ... If it does turn out to be an abuse, she will be due all costs.No, it's not shared.

That hints that the neighbour has some rights of access to the driveway. But that may be limited to foot access, repairs etc. Only the courts can sort this. Anything else is pure speculation.No, it's not shared. She owns her driveway. They do have a back gate that leads out on to her driveway. They then have to walk over her driveway to reach there own.
