Came across this scene near Round Top, TX a couple weekends ago, and had to stop and take a pic, for obvious reasons...

Wow!. Ted next time I travel to Meadville, PA I'll take some pics of the area DOT barn and the signs that they've made from old road signs. They are incredible.

I was going to say...  Had a friend back in high school that snatched a traffic light that got knocked down.  The next year cops got called to a party at his house for a fight.  They saw the light in the corner and looked at it seeing the boiler palte on it and it was marked property of state of MD.  He was charged with recieving stolen property...

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder how the person living there legally managed to "acquire" all of these signs? Obviously, they aren't too concerned about it, having the signs prominently displayed around their house... assuming there's actually a house hidden behind all that stuff.

That is something there. I bet if Antique Archeology drove by, they would stop and see if there is anything to pick.

NCDOT will give away old signs that are pulled down.  There are certain times, they are not allowed to reuse signs even if they have on.  Government waste at its finest.

" Back in the Dark Ages my buds and I ripped off some signs in Pennsylvania back in the sixties.  We got a YIELD sign and a STOP sign and one of those signs with a wiggly arrow on it...."   














"...well, we put 'em in the trunk of my '62 Impala.....and, of course, we got stopped by the police ( eventually ) , for something!  [ In the late sixties I got pulled over constantly because I looked like a subversive hippie or 'suspicious' or something! ]....



" .....well when the policeman got around to searching the trunk (!!) Big Grin  he naturally saw a hundred pounds of steel signs!! Howdy 




" ....He said: ' What's this?! '  "




















" I calmly said, ' Oh.....I got them on a School Trip...' "   Bandito 









" He said ' oh...' and let us go.  We were polite little subversives in those days..."
