No one should be stealing signs…unless the Village tries to comply with ridiculous Federal guidelines (read: make-work program) to replace all street signs that are in upper case only be both upper and lower case. Chris Rutishauser didn’t complain that it was a “financial burden”
This is nothing new street signs and road signs are always being stolen by teens.
The Yankees steal signs, but haven’t been caught.
At least we don’t live in Intercourse, Pennsylvania.
Heather better wake up…college kids take signs or their dorm rooms. It ain’t no thing.
It ain’t no thing. It is theft and causes road hazards. Stop making excuses for stupidity.
