It would be funny to move those slightly.
My grandparents have a cottage in Maine with a town line marker on the edge of their property. Would be funny to expand their land a bit lol
It'd be funny to move your property corner slightly. It's basically the same principle. :P
Also it's a federal crime to fuck with them.
I don't live there so I don't mind :)
There are apparently two markers fairly close to where I live so I might check those out someday.
I obviously won't mess with them though since all crimes are "federal crimes" where I live.
