The property has been damaged, as you need to cut them down. If you manage to move the whole thing without cutting the pole you'd have a point.
(i did read your whole comment, we were literally talking about cutting down a pole)
You absolutely can move the thing without cutting it down. It just happens to be quicker to cut them down and most of the people doing this don't care about the charge.
But I do take your meaning and to some extent even agree with it.
I still don't think they actually would. I don't know who upvotes that shit, it's just wishful thinking.
For one, the CEO of a company doesn't personally own the property of their company. That's not how that works.
This is like saying you'd get away with moving a Verizon cell tower to the front yard of the CEO of Verizon. It's nonsense.
They're not saying you would get away with it, just that it isn't technically vandalism but a different crime.
Good luck finding a lawyer who agrees
