+1, you cannot simply move one marker, as it is forbidden ;-) and they will find you quickly unless you move a lot of markers systematically in a big area, in which case they might eventually take a bit longer to find out. Still, you'd have to move neighbouring buildings as well, I guess ;-) It is practially impossible to change boundaries just by moving markers, because we are talking about a whole system where every point is in relation with its surrounding and with other points. The cadastral surveys AFAIK also use official reference points (but are also capable of using dgps with 1cm and better precision AFAIK, so nowadays it is really difficult/impossible to manipulate boundaries by moving markers).
