“Vandalism refers to the intentional destruction or defacement of property”
They relocated the item to its owners house. At best the cutting might be vandalism but you don’t have to cut them down. That just happens to be quicker.
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.
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.
😐
E: LOL downvotes for facts, I guess
The vandalism was putting them up in the first place.
Vandalism as a public service
Technically not theft. Technically not vandalism.

It is 100% vandalism, in every sense. I support it, civil disobedience and all that, but there’s no rationalizing it as anything else.
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.
When the law doesn’t follow the law, laws are irrelevant.
You would make a terrible lawyer.
You probably think Hillary Clinton, John Yoo, Ty Cobbs, Dick Harpootlian are great lawyers.

I didn’t ignore it, it just makes absolutely no sense. What is an “allowance”? The property is damaged, thus vandalism.

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)
