Dumb thing to do as a kid while sleeping out one night.
Speed limit sign – in tall weeds so we could hide in the weeds. Took the top bolt out first just as a car came over the hill so the headlights caught the sign swinging down. After the car passed, we took the bottom bolt off and hung the sign in our tree house. Wonder who in the group eventually wound up with it.

I had around 20 of them…

From old worn out ones that had bullet holes in them and repainted in fluorescent colors black light and alternate moods...

To the more modern signs that may have said “Stop” and “No stop for right turn”...

I hope the statute of limitations has passed…;)

I NEED TO DO THIS! AND SOON! I’m moving out of my neighborhood [which I’ve lived in for my whole life, 18 years now!! :(:(:(] in July, so I was thinking of maybe and finally stealing the yield sign that serves absolutely no purpose what so ever. Agreed?

Ken knows, he said he would help but I can tell he’s not to into it. That’s fine, though, he promised and I’m going to hold him to it.

A bad idea sometimes... 10 months ago

I stole a road construction barrel….
Let’s just say that didn’t happen to go so well.
I had the thing for three weeks and one day someone left the door to my dorm open. The campus police walked by and saw it and wrote me up for possession of stolen property.
I’m going to say its a great idea to steal a sign if you live alone but if you are in college don’t do it. You’ll end up having to go to court and it causes so many problems if anyone finds out.

warmblooded asks, “there are two road work signs that have been up for weeks and there is definitely no road work in the area. i really want the dump truck one but it's supposedly much harder to detach signs from the temporary bases. any info or advice on how to do so?”

froman2686 asks, “So I'd like to do this. I found the perfect one I want to get, it's a street name sign. How do I remove it from the pole? I got an allen key that fit these little screws, but I couldn't get it to turn. Am I on the right track, or is there a better way?”
