I’ve wondered too who in at Village Hall owns stock in ADT. Otherwise, why would Mr. Rutishauser and Ms. Jeffery not be writing summonses against them?
These signs are a warning for wood-be burglers.
They are usually small.
Really?
This is what you want to bitch about now?
Here’s your answer: MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.
If this is what pains you and you have difficulty getting through the day just knowing that one of your neighbors has one of these dreadful signs in his yard then you have a bigger problem than sign phobia. Get the help that you obviously need.
Any chance we could discuss issues without announcing that the poster we disagree with is deranged?.
NO

Guess not much going on in the life of one said poster who takes the time ( at 12:24 am no less) to post complete suburban bullshit with regards to signage…this cat has nothing else to do in the wee hours. He’s actually posting suburbias chains verbatim….
Did Village Planner Blais Brancheau write this language? If yes, it’s not surprising. The “damage” that this person has wrought is truly astonishing. He should have been ousted decades ago! #DrainTheRidgewoodSwamp, #MRGA
