Default log under the dock

Here's a question. We were up to the lake over the weekend and there was a large tree lodged underneath my dock which will cost quite a few bucks for me to have removed. This thing was clearly cut down by someone and dropped in the water. A visit to the town office was met with a "if it's on your dock, it's yours.." response which is kind of what I expected. Any suggestions or should I just suck it up?

I think you should look around the neighborhood for a fresh stump first. If you find one, lug the log to their dock and they can own it.
Investigate the surroundings and see if you find evidence. If its a big tree, you might find traces of saw dust as well.. I disagree that if its on your dock, you own it. Thats someone's way of saying they don't want to help out a fellow neighbor. If you live on the bear island part of the lake. I'll help you move it. I don't know how to use a chain saw, but I'll do what I can to help you. Advantages: pull it up onto your lawn, and dry it out for firewood and don't share it. He Hee. Good luck to you.
