I had a guy arrested last year for doing that. City guy bought 20 acres adjacent to my 100 acres, up on the mountain out of sight from me. He hired a contactor with some heavy equipment and started removing the stone walls that are our boundary line. He was having the stone put on pallets and was planning on selling it. I called the State Police and had him arrested. The stone got put back but not stacked as was originally. The guy first argued that it was "his" boundary line; couldn't seem to get it through his head that a line indicates TWO owners involved, not just one. He than argued that I couldn't even see the wall from my house, and I wasn't using it for anything. I see no logic in his argument. This sort of thing is happening more and more around here in central New York State because the stones have market value. Many of these stone walls date back to the late 1700s. As far as building fences on lines, I wouldn't do it. It requires permission from all owner's involved, and even with permission, what happens when one party sells their property? The practice around here for new fences is to do so off the line a bit. If I build a new fence, it's all on my property. Even this can cause survey problems later because sometimes, some people assume a fence line IS the property line - and often it is not.
