And had YOU "strayed" across an invisible border wtihout knowing it, I'm sure you would feel as you do now. Remember that when Ötzi The Iceman was found near a mountain top on the Italian/Austiran border, those in charge had to run GPS to figure out what country he was actually in! Turned out to be Italy but they had to use modern technology to prove it.

"International complications came into play as, although the body was discovered in a place where waters as they drained from this part of the Alps flowed towards Austria, its actual resting-place was confirmed, by a subsequent border survey of early October, to have been some 93 metres inside the Italian border. Agreements were reached between the relevant authorities allowing for the continued responsibility for the investigation of the corpse to lie with the Forensic Institute at Innsbruck.
A dispute about "ownership" of Ötzi the Iceman, as the remains became known in an emerging world-wide fascination with this "cold case" of an ice mummy found on the Austrian-Italian frontier, continued for six years until, early in 1998, under armed guard, (because some Austrians had shown dis-satisfaction to see this relocation), Otzi and his belongings were transported from the Institute of Anatomy of the University of Innsbruck over the Brenner Pass to a new and purpose-built refrigerated resting place in a converted former bank building selected for its favourable location in the historical center of Bolzano - of an important town within Italy that was reasonably close to the actual discovery site: the conversion cost some ?8,800,000 then roughly equivalent to $10,000,000."
93 metres is roughly 300 feet.
