That's just false equivalence. There's no fence and there definitely isn't any property it's on here. This isn't translating the situation into an analogy, this is straight making things up.
A customer’s web site qualifies as their property. Impairing or destroying their property, or interfering with their business, is actionable under multiple laws. Hacking, broadly defined, is a federal crime in the US.
Not exactly the same as tearing down a fence but not all that different either. Not getting paid for work doesn’t make it ok to punish the customer yourself. The remedy is to sue. If you do end up in court or arbitration, the customer showing that you delivered a disabled site won’t play well for your case.
