Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana

I purchased a home on 4 acres for 190000. Possession at closing per contract. Seller to get furniture and personal belongings. There is a huge pile of driveway stone in yard beside driveway. I was verbally asked if i wished to purchase this stone. I declined. Now 3 weeks later and after closing the stone is still there and seller wants to bring loader and dump truck in my yard to reclaim stone or for me to pay $2000 for the stone. Seller says she will sue. Who does stone belong to?

It sounds as if you knew all along that the deal did not include the stone. A small claims judge is going to address this issue on the equities unless there is a contract provision that applies.
