Is setting fraudulent survey markers a crime?

Got it now, definitely fraudulent.
@warrenward Sounds like the neighbor who “had the funds to go to court to prove it” won a civil suit. Fraud is a crime. It isn’t fraud unless the fraudster is convicted in a criminal court. Civil courts do not prove fraud.

in California adjoining property owners can mark and agree to their mutual boundary, no court (or land surveyors) required at least until one of their successors decides to no longer agree but that is true of everything.
In school I remember the instructors saying this was only an option if the monuments were lost, which made sense.
I would have to say that anything that is Fraudulent is a crime in itself.
