Default Why is There Flags All Over My Yard

I come home from work today to find neon spray paint and little flags all over my yard. Some say "Buried phone" and some say "Buried Electrical Cable" They trail from the front to the back of my house. There is also spray painted symbols in the street in front my my house. I pulled all the flags out of the ground and threw them in the garage. Why would they do this? Actually I have no idea who they is.

One theory; I don't have cable ran to my house. I moved into it when it was new and I have always had satellite. Is the cable company thinking I need it ran to my house? Maybe they have the wrong house?

Congratulations!
Yyou just inherited 10 years worth of City funded utility work to be done on your street!

You will probably have a bulldozer and track-hoe parked in front of your house Sunday night.

Mine is the only house on the street that I noticed like this.

come on man, this is a dick move, they're just doing their job.

They're planning on digging in your yard, they're marking places that they shouldn't hit.

Then you better sit in a lawn chair in front of your house while holding a shotgun, because somebody is ready to dig up your yard.

Why are you asking us? Call up your municipality, first call/one call, utility company if it was on the flags. Someone knows why they were there, and that person is not on 2p2.
