When scrap metal was bringing good prices, I removed all of my signs on a building that I own in town.

Paul...a small restaurant (Sunny Mtn) was robbed on hwy 9 in NC this past week as well...Also a seller at It's a Gas had a pricey Pepsi Diecut tin bottle sign stolen while setting up their booth ... We need to all keep a lookout for these items and watch each others backs (booths) at shows. Its a shame things are like this now...The secrets out on the values of items and the crooks are taking notice. I hope the thieves in all of these cases are served a huge can of JUSTICE...

SAD. Money makes the world go round. I can't believe people. They most likely don't even have a passion for these items, the nostalgia and history behind them and are stealing it trying to make a quick flip. Too bad the owner didn't catch them.

I advised the owners of that station to put up window alarms on the signs and secure them with multiple methods/bolt types when they do replace them.
The location for this garage is on a main drag so the audacity of the people is amazing.
