Stolen No Trespass signs

RE: Stolen No Trespass signs
I have heard rumor that here in Michigan they are going to go to a single purple paint stripe on trees as a no trespassing sign. They get stolen around here all the time, so much for the "if it's not nailed down they'll take it" motto. I like the paint on trees and post idea with publications through the DNR and other Michigan law agencies. A end to sign stealers and a beginning for the purple paint industry LOL.

I hate to admit this, but when I was a kid, around 13 or so, friends and I would take down no tresspassing signs thinking that would cover us if we were caught playing in peoples woods. I should have been horse whipped, but hey I was 13.

That sad huh? That happened to a few of mine, so I got the kind that you write the club name on, (advise: don't write your tel. #, crank calls) and then after putting them up put some wet tar on the back sides. They don't really want to mess with the mess!

i used to find trashy people on my dads land all the time, our woods bordered a trailerpark that served the town as the low income houseing area, and they would tear up the land leave trash every where and would down right try to attach us if we confronted them about it. I called the cops on it several times, just got worse. they guys that got cought just came back more probably as f*** you kind of thing.
we finally got my dad to let us put up a big tall permanent fence, hasnt happened ever again.

"I like the ones that at least say "No... without permission from the landowner" and they give you the person's name and phone number on it we can call. We can live with that."
Not required in OK. Folks will just have to live with that.

Try using some anti-theft fasteners. You might have to get your local hardware store to special order them. If you screwed them into wood you could screw them up and take a file and file the heads downso no screwdriver would work. Or if you used nuts and bolts take a punch and hammer and beat the threads up on the back side of the bolts. A thief gennerallywon't take too much time to steal things, at least I'm sure they wouldn't on your signs. Andwhen your ready to replace them it won't really matter how bad you tear them up, their no good anymore.
