Nice downvote.
You didn't look up the legal definition of anything before you posted this nonsense. Have a good day.
Nonsense? You just posted a definition that describes this activity exactly...? So if anyone is posting nonsense, its you.
No. I did not. Relocation of the asset to the owners property means there's no intent to deprive the owner of said property which means that it's not theft.
The property has not been defaced, damaged, or destroyed so that means there's no intent of vandalism. Therefore vandalism did not take place.
What you're describing is criminal mischief, which I would agree this is.
I made a singular allowance in the case that the pole was cut (which counts as damage), rather than being dug up (which wouldn't), which you appear to have ignored.
If you don't like facts, that is a you problem.
You are welcome to kagi or whatever this yourself to see what I'm talking about instead of doubling down.
If you are incapable of that, don't bother to respond to me.
I didn't ignore it, it just makes absolutely no sense. What is an "allowance"? The property is damaged, thus vandalism.
If you don't like facts, that is a you problem.
