There's a hard border around Amity. Complete with border security, check points and armed federal agents.
Considering the size of the town it could have gone unnoticed. Should have gone unnoticed.
There was little reason to visit the town, or its people. Most of whom had been born there and would die there and few had any meaningful relationships outside of Amity Park. The town itself not being noteworthy enough to draw a large tourist crowd and its only real claim to fame being its recent status change to 'the most haunted town in America'. Too recent to have spread very far.
Most major roads went around the town, and had since its founding. There had never been much of a reason to so much as drive through the town.
No one should have noticed.
The few passerby that there were would have just assumed it was a covert military operation. or some kind of testing facility and kept driving. Assumed that their GPS malfunctioned to take them that way at all.
Except.
Except.
Amity was the primary (see: only) exporter of certain cutting edge technology like microchips and power-cells.
And the sudden hold-up in transport led to a noticeable decline in availability, increased shipping times, and exponentially higher costs.
Which led to the cause being investigated (maybe it was just the sudden delays after years of clockwork deliveries raising concern, maybe a secret SOS managed to get smuggled out). And now you had some very angry, very concerned, very connected people at the border demanding answers.
