Responsa for Bava Kamma 55:8

תא שמע הממלא חצר חבירו כדי יין וכדי שמן בעל החצר משבר ויוצא משבר ונכנס

Come and hear: In the case of a trespasser having filled his neighbour's premises with pitchers of wine and pitchers of oil, the owner of the premises is entitled to break them when going out and break them when coming in. [Does not this prove that a man may take the law into his own hands for the protection of his rights?]<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Thus contradicting the view of Rab Judah.

Teshuvot Maharam

Q. A put a stone in front of his door which opens into the yard of the synagogue. The members of the community object to it, on the ground that it is a stumbling block and a nuisance.
A. One is not permitted to put anything in the public domain, without permission from the proper authorities. Therefore, A must remove the stone from the public property, unless he had received permission [from the community] to put it there.
SOURCES: Pr. 235.
