Sign Thieves
If there’s one thing I hate, it’s people that steal things from me. If there’s something that I hate even more, it’s people that steal from my family. If there’s one thing I hate more than all of those things, it’s people who steal the grand opening sign… those jerks!
Here is the press release from Dave, written the day after the incident, October 5th:
Yesterday, October 4th, 2009 a day that will live in infamy. 408 University Ave was suddenly and deliberately attacked by some douchebags. At some time before 9AM, the famous Grand Opening sign was cut (burned??) off of its ropes and illegally removed from our property. These criminals must be brought to justice.
Well we put up a replacement sign that read “Who Took Our Sign?” and it was stolen just a few days later.
Recently, we found out a little more about what happened to the sign. The douchebags stole it from our house, ran down the street all of 5 houses, viciously attacked it with a knife and threw it in someone’s yard. Not only are these people thieves, but they are also litterers.
We have yet to recover the second sign. Plans are under way to repair the original sign and hang it in a more secured fashion. Investigation as to the culprits is still pending.
The sign in its original grandeur.
The empty void in our hearts.
