Council takes drastic measures after road sign is stolen every two months because of its rude name

A LOCAL council in the US was forced to take drastic measures after this amusing street sign with a rude name was continuously stolen.

According to The Mirror, authorities in High Point, North Carolina, have exhausted most methods to stop the theft of the sign.

The thefts took place in a small town called Horneytown. Its namesake road stretches about 5km and the signs that tell people where they are disappear roughly every two months.

Davidson County 911 Director Terry Bailey said the sign is the most stolen road sign in the county with “Rolling Green” coming in second.

Now authorities have put up an extra sign warning people that it has a GPS tracker, meaning police can hunt them down.

A picture of the new sign was posted on social media yesterday and has already been viewed 2.3 million times.

“So basically they’ve made stealing it more fun by adding a challenge element.” one social media user commented.

It’s a big problem for 911 workers.

“The people that live around there, they know that street, they know that’s Horneytown Road but the motoring public that’s driving through may be coming out of High Point and may or may not know if they have something they need to report and that sign’s not there, it makes it much more difficult to be able to tell us where they’re at,” Terry Bailey told FOX8.

“It’s a little frustrating but we know what it is and we just try to make sure the sign stays up the best we can,” Bailey said.
