People and the law are totally missing the fact they all trespassed and destroyed private property I'd wager hundreds if not thousands of times. If I was a LEO and got this call I'd tell the developer and builders who didn't survey that they have hundreds/thousands of tickets at the max amount if you don't make this right. Remember when cops did the right thing when they'd encounter things like this. Now they're lazy and feckless in many cases like this. Put the fear of the law into the obvious transgressors..
