What happens to those stolen signs?

By
Real Estate Agent with Frog Realty BK3196048

Well I experienced another first this weekend...one of my yard signs and rider were stolen.  Now we do have a better than average looking sign at Frog Realty but really...what do people do with these?  They are fairly heavy and as most Realtors know, larger than you might at first think.  They would take up a lot of space in a dorm room.

Now this is Tallahassee and both FSU and FAMU had their graduations this weekend, but if a Frog Realty sign is on your list of memorable items from living in Tallahassee, then you need to get a life.  We are good, some even say exceptional real estate professionals, but come on!

This sign was outside my farm area of Piney Z but was in a nice neighborhood, unfortunately not far from one of our high schools-that may be the answer.  Anyway if someone really wants some Michael Lee memorabilia, all they have to do is ask!

PS-Great news for Tallahassee and Leon County real estate professionals!  DickBetts is coming back to Tally in 2009!  More will be posted when the details are available.  Dick Betts rocks!

Could that be due to an unhappy competition person?

Michael, About all you can do is report it to the police and move on. I've heard of temporary directionals being stolen but a yard sign, yikes!

A yard sign, while boring to us, it probably a lot of fun to mess with for a bunch of bored drunk high school or college kids. Unfortunately, the people having fun with our signs don't realize that they cost money and they are also hurting our business.

Check with the city down here if it is not the right size they remove it!

Ahhhh...but it's the flags that are the real trophies...watch them on the kids bikes...wouldn't you as a parent ask a child where the new decorations came from....more time parenting might lead to fewer signs disapppearing.

People who take these signs don't realize they are rather expensive to replace. More than likely someone playing a prank.

I saw some on the side of a country road the other day...just "thrown away"...I called the Realtor and informed her...she appreciated it...as they are costly to replace...
