I Like the comment section. Maybe we should push the bible aspect of surveying's importance.
Mr, TNAI,
I wonder what kind of equipment that "surveyor" was using that was mounted on a telephone pole?
One of them new fangled quad head, GPS signal filtered Javad units you push around on a golf bag cart using pole mounted lightsquared, maybe?
JA, PLS SoCal
Underground line from pole. Probably a transmitter sending a signal down a trace wire is what was removed. Surveyors use all kinds of things while doing their diversified work.

One biblical quote will suffice?
In my 1969 copy of Boundary Control and Legal Principles there is a picture of a boundary stone from ancient Babylon, with a translation of its text. I don't know whether it appears in later editions. Anyone moving the stone, or for that matter challenging the grantee's title, is threatened with a long list of curses from a similarly long list of Babylonian gods, including such things as:
--Anu, Enlil, and Ea will destroy the foundations of his house and carry off his children.
--Marduk will cause him to develop dropsy.
--Nabu will change the offender's own boundary and boundary stone.
--Adad will fill his canals with mud and his fields with thorns.
--Sin will give him leprosy, etc., etc.
The curses must have impressed people, since the stone was still there 3000 years later for archeologists to dig up.

Lets just say I'm not surprised.:'(
