Why You Don't Piss Me Off...
I come home today and find my front lawn cut up and a new unmarked utility box sitting in my lawn. Is it cable? Is it power? I just don't know because it isn't marked.
So I checked the eminent domain laws and made sure. They have to give notification, period. And for good reason, you don't want people driving on your grass dropping strange boxes in your lawn. (John at StoptheACLU thinks it's Big Brother watching me... maybe it's just the ACLU).
Extra fun part, it's not on an easement either. So looks like I'm filing an eminent domain lawsuit to dog them for a few grand in legal fees and kick them around a bit.
I just gotta figure out who this box belongs to first.

Why don't you just remove it? Rip that sucker right outta the ground!
After all, nobody told you it was coming, and you don't know who it belongs to. The quickest way to find out who put it there is see who comes calling when it's gone :-)

Funny, I saw that there was paint on your grass and something had been driven on it...Didn't realize that the box was new.
