Question:

Is carving your initials in cement illegal?

I carved S in wet cement but it wasn't my sidewalk... will I get in trouble?? I feel really guilty but I just wanted to make a memory :(

Answer:

Of course it is illegal. You damaged someone else's property. Who's going to be able to prove it?
So YOU'RE the person the Concrete Police came to my house asking about today.
Lol, don't worry! The cops aren't going to come banging down your door and asking if you put your initials in the side walk. It isn't illegal.
It's not unlawful to carve your identify on cement or tree. Simplest thing is that there will have to no longer be a notice forbidding it. It's customary to have your hand impressions on moist cement in Hollywood certainly of the celebrities. All people likes to peer himself on the mirror so usually and also his/her name/ initials written someplace. Many corporations have the house owners identify and so they carve the initials on the corporation buildings...
It actually does qualify as vandalism and damage to public property if it's a public sidewalk, damage to private property if it's someone's walk (unless of course, it's yours). They can't charge you with anything if they don't know you did it. On the other hand, it's not the worst thing in the world. I crossover a patch of cement in my travels that says lily grace and I happen to know a little girl named Lily Grace in that neighborhood <wink> But technically, for the stern no-fun grownups- it's not supposed to happen. We won't tell!
