How to prove a submission is real ?

Yesterday I received my first rejection based on the supposition that it's a fake nomination :
The thing is, this art is real but I don't know how I can "prove" it.
This is a small piece of carved granit that mysteriously appeared sticked on a wall few month ago so it doesn't show on map.
Any advice on what I shall do now ?
Appeal ? Resubmission ? But in that case, what should I change to prove that this item exist ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I'm at more than 20 submission and this is not my first reject. But to be rejected on a motive that is objectively invalid is kind of depressing. 😥

It may not be enough, but adding an arrow to the second picture to show where the sign is would likely help a bit. Still, people might think it's temporary or is a private residence.
thanks for the tip ; I'll try that
a simple look on the map will immediatly show that it's not in a residence
as for the temporary aspect ... I think it's like any street art no ?
Hi.
I actually reviewed this one yesterday. I'm sorry to say I rejected (other).
My opinion was that this, is not something interesting, as it can be bought for a few euros, and then attached anywhere.
Due to this I can't see that it meets any of the criteria.
Added edit: in the case I'm wrong, then I'm terribly sorry.
Hi, thank your for your feedback.
I don't know if it's something that can be bought because, from close, there seems to be no sign of a mass production item but I see your point.
One thing I do not really agree though is about the interesting aspect. In the city, many wayspot are small artistic oddity put on wall. Many are made from pixel art or decorated tile. The fact that it's discreet makes it interesting in my opinion.
I get that, and even though it might catch the attention of some, it's still a mass-produced granite engraving.
Regardless of that, location was spot on. I believe, resubmitted or making an appeal, will be a tough one: some might reject on pedestrian access.
