You should not have pulled the marker.
1* I would say in the future, don't pull the markers, most states have a law against it.
1*I know but it's hard to resist when you know it's over on your property .
2*
I had a neighbor that pulled up a marker. He wishes now he had not. Nuf said 
Ken Sweet
2*How much did you cost him ?
3*I get different surveyer and get same piece surveyed couple years later,probably get a tad different results.
3*Happens all the time .
Like I said, its against the law to pull survey markers. 4*How would you feel if you paid for a survey, and then your neighbor pulled your stakes?
It's no different than going over and slashing his tires. It can cost thousands of dollars to do a survey in rural areas, and
5*would cost the owner money to reset the stakes.
4*Just like I'd feel about a neighbor who had a survey with markers placed on my property where they didn't belong.
5*Why reset stakes that may well have been incorrectly set in the first place?
6*
First, in our area it is illegal to move or tamper with a survey marker.
7*If I had paid for a survey and someone pulled up the pegs and flagging I would be a tad upset.
8*Guess who I would expect to pay for it to be resurveyed.
6*So whose survey is right and which one do we go by?
7*So you don't think I should be upset if your markers are over on my property?
8*And if it turns out you are still on my land who do you think should pay?
What ticks me off is with all the $ we pay at the closing, there is no warranty in even your property borders...
9*I hate to pay again to proof somebody (one of the survey cos) made an error.
10*If you are willing to spend $ you might get your property bigger (another survey)
9*
You should never have to pay for more than one survey.
10*That could go the other way also .
they have caps on them or tags with the surveyors license number on them. If you pull these, its a problem.
11*I can't tell you the number of times people THINK they know where the boundary lines are.
This is often based on vague facts passed down from previous owners.
12*When someone gets a survey done, they are often upset when it doesn't match where they thought the boundary was.
13*People are often very emotional over there boundaries and can get very upset.
11*Having a deed and a survey is hardly
vague facts passed down from previous owners.
12*They get even more upset when they all ready have a previous survey and deed that they have held for years.
13*Can't say as i blame them.
14*My limited experience over the years has shown me that "one surveyor rarely disagrees with another".
14*My experence has been just the opposite.
I bought 8 acers back in 1972 had it surved and got a deed for it.
10 years later 1982 I plotted it off into a sub division .
and i sold the entire 8 acres but the county came back and sent me a tax bill on .25 acres .
After 28 years of not owning the 8 acres I'm still getting billed for real estate taxes on .25 acres of land i don't have.
ANOTHER Example.
I had the 2.33 acres where I live surved back in the early 1970s.
Around the early to mid 80s A realitor bought the property that was to the rear of my property and turned it into a small 7 house subdivision.
The survorer scrwed up the boundery line between my property the subdivision and the neighbor to the right.
The worst part is the surveyor who did the subdivision is the same surveyor who did my place back in the early 1970s.
As you can see my experence shows that suveyors not only dissagree with each they can't even agree with themselves .
