Stealing road signs
 

I probably have 20+ stolen signs in my apartment... street signs, signs from stores, parking signs, "road closed" barriers, cheapo corrugated-cardboard Cornell signs, promotional materials.. and yes, one felonious stop sign.

How is everyone else's collection?

Bonus points: am I a prick for taking them? I assure you that the stop sign was safe to steal, as it met two important criteria:

1) obscured behind a tree, and hard to see anyway

2) at a low-traffic T-intersection, where going straight is not an option. if you don't stop before you make turns at T-intersections (or at least look to see if there is traffic on the road), you should not have your license regardless.

(and yes, the town of Ithaca replaced the stop sign within two days)

For some reason, here in Milford, we have to keep replacing the street sign for Beaver Street.

Sometimes I imagine that I could start a lucrative side business selling stolen Texas "Highway 69" signs to frats & suchlike. Thoughts?

I'll expect a tax refund check from all of you.

Re: Stealing road signs
 

I've only got one. It was stolen for (given to?) me as a gift. Ah, good ol' Denton road.

Re: Stealing road signs
 

Yeah I've got about 30-40 stop signs in my house, its so cool. My whole wall is covered in my bedroom.

Some friends of mine freshman year had one that said "Student Loading Zone" over their bar.

It was pretty classy until the cops came and took it.

What were the cops doing in their house?

If the cops came in my house, they'd probably take more than the signs.

I didn't know you live in Milford. That's very close to me - are you in the Congress St. area? My buddy just bought a house there.

I'm 20, graduated WHS in 2003.

I know (or at least, know -of-) most of the teachers who were there in 2003, but I haven't really been back since I came to Cornell.

In a college dorm, with the bar and signs outside their rooms. (The dorm was set up like a U-shaped motel, with all the rooms opening into a central courtyard.)

And yes, it's a good thing the cops stayed in the courtyard.

I hate to sound like Grandpa here, but stealing stop signs is extremely uncool. Signs whose absence won't result in anyone's death, whatever.

and you think you're cool because of this? how many coors light banners stolen from gas stations do you have?

Re: Stealing road signs
 

My exit off the local freeway (I-75) is exit #69, which happens to be Big Beaver Rd. I'm not sure how many times this has been stolen, but almost every time I tell someone what exit to get off at, I get a silly chuckle.

isnt removing a stop sign attempted manslaughter or something rediculas?

Re: Stealing road signs
 

The only sign I've ever wanted to steel is one with my last name, there is a Paladino Ave near randall's island. It's even cooler b/c it is spelled like mine, even though the proper and more commen italian spelling is Palladino.

I also have a stop sign with a couple shotgun dents in it and some 22 holes in it.
