Noticed the same thing with a park bench down the road from me last month. It was just gone for a whole afternoon, concrete slabs and everything. Came back the next day looking a bit newer, but in the exact same spot. Idk, maybe it's just me, but stuff like this happens more than people talk about.

Hold on! I've done offsets by HAND for years and it's totally fine if you pay attention. Probes can fail or get dirty and trick you into thinking things are perfect when they're not. That messed up run probably came from a simple mistake, not from skipping the probe. Relying on gadgets for every little thing just wastes time and money. Manual checking keeps your skills sharp and that's WORTH more in the long run.

The real vibe is still there if you know where to look.
