I stole a street intersection sign once (the green ones that sit atop the stopsign) and then I didn't want it anymore but we were stuck with it. Not wanting anyone to see it, we had it covered in the back porch. This was in florida...then we had a hurricane. After the hurricane, we tossed it outside. The street sign belonged at least 15-20 miles away, but we convinced everyone that the hurricane brought it over
