"Well Friends........The thieves are at it again !!!!!!! A large sign collection in Ansonville was hit the other night,and last night another friend of mine was hit as well. Thank God I have a monitored security system, and my Friend that was hit last night has one Too !!! He also has a DVR and remote wireless cameras......So hopefully after the police review the footage, their crime spree just might be over !!!!!! Not to mention they left a sign laying in the grass, so hopefully the police will get some fingerprints. Here is a list of what is known to be stolen.....maybe more items, not sure yet. The sad thing is.....it is probably somebody that we all know, So EVERYBODY keep your eyes out if somebody suddenly starts having a lot of nice inventory for sale. All of us Sign Guys are a pretty tightly knit circle, so hopefully the Terror will soon be over and the crooks will get their medicine and be marked for life !!!!!"

Out of curiosity, are these signs inside shops or on the outside of the buildings?

I've seen guys display their signs both ways.

If they are inside shops somebody is doing some research to find the targets.
