After stealing a few street signs lately (mainly to sell/give away), I've been thinking about starting a little collection of them. Anyone else done this? Any pics?
The main problem I have is concealing the signs after I've taken them. Walking back through the streets with a large piece of metal that says 'keep left' isn't a great look. They're too big and awkward to fit in any of my backpacks, so how does everyone else get them home?

Do some recon work beforehand. You nearly had the right idea by going out and loosening the signs, but why not do it at night time instead? Here's how I'd personally do it;
Plan my route and go out on a spot of recon a few nights before the main operation. I'd carry the required tools in case I need them, and I'd go and check the signs to see if they need loosening or anything else. If they DO need some work, then quickly and quietly loosen the signs before reporting back to base (going home).
You now have enough information (best routes to take, where the signs are located, any cameras around etc) to perform the full operation, as well as having a loosened sign. Plan your operation out again using this reconnaissance, and hit those signs!
Mexico lol
But then I grew up.
FYI, if the missing signs become a big enough nuisance, the town might make the tops of the signs serrated. It's hardly a solution but it's not fun to encounter either.
As far as hiding them at home.. I always put them in an old storage shed that was behind my parents house or hid them in the woods. Maybe hiding them under the house could work too or under your bed if your parents aren't snoopy fucks.
Take that shit. That's awesome.

This is what I am worried about. I need to steal more petty shit before I get too old and it doesn't sound as fun.
I've never taken any signs before, what all do i need? If I end up getting it, I will post pics
Thinking about leaving one behind and using a sharpie or can of paint to write 'totse.info' on it. Good idea?
