Well, in the case of tearing down a sign, you are damaging someone else's property. If you stick a sign in their grass, you have left your own property.suthdj wrote:If walk up to a store an tear down the sign is it any different if i add a sign either way i am defacing the store, if i place a 06/07 sign and they lose 3-4% of revenue am i not liable for that loss?
Now there may be laws / issues with leaving a sign the turns customers away or as someone else put it akin to putting up your own stop signs. I really don't know but just on the difference you asked about, there seems to be the distinction I made.
