What in the actual hell.

Obviously criminal. Did anyone actually take responsibility for it or was it just a bunch of 'wasn't me's'?

Found it. It seems to still be on the Maricopa County site after all.

Now what are the odds Joe Schmo decided on his own initiative to draft the block plat, commited fraud by inserting my seal and signature, and transmitted the file to the City of Tucson for review, without any of the higher ups noticing. Nah, today's protestations of innocence to the contrary, somebody higher up blessed this effort.

That's hilarious.

The misspelled registered makes me think it was a last second prank though. Is there a backstory?

Please don't label me as being discriminating. My first assumption is that English is probably not the first language of this brilliant fellow. Once worked with a fellow with a fairly similar name, who was hired because he had a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Did not take long to discover he had no knowledge of subjects that are handled during the second year in that major and which are mandatory prerequisities for higher level engineering classes. Turned out he had purchased his diploma. Our Director of Engineering was a native of the same home country. This embarrassed him immensely. Bye bye.

If the Arizona state board is anything like the Oregon and Washington boards, they have staff investigators. And if they deem it necessary they can get the state police involved. Whoever perpetrated this felony needs to be identified and made to pay for their crime in the manner proscribed by law. It is unlikely that this is a one time event. There are lots of other victims out there.

At least the engineer set caps with his number on them.

He even acknowledged the real surveyors Chris W. and Greg J.

Their was a SurveyorConnect thread back in April 2017 that discussed this guys history in some detail. If you use the search term "Maricopa" on this site you should come to it quickly.

It seems that this character recorded a couple dozen surveys in this same manner. Not all had statements quite this outrageous, but several had eyebrow raisers.
