That sounds like a challenge.

The Austrian town of Fucking has erected theft-proof road signs embedded in concrete blocks. Officials acted because they were fed up with English-speaking tourists stealing them as souvenirs. They are bolted and welded to steel posts embedded in concrete in the ground and the mayor added: "It would take all night to steal one."

"Fucking always attracts a lot of attention in the summer months, with tourists driving up from nearby Salzburg to pose for pictures in front of the Fucking signs."

That was my favorite part.

"It would take all night to steal one."

Where's angle grinder man when you need one?

I bet 30-60 minutes max would do it, if not silently.

Oh, also: If they want to reduce theft, just sell cheap replicas ion the town souvenir shop!

I'm betting they do.

Weed, California does that. The town is actually named for its founder, but you can get sweatshirts and postcards and the like that say things such as "I got high on Weed, California!" and whatnot.

(It's a rather nice town with a good place for breakfast, and a usual stopping point for me when I'm traveling down that way.)

Haven't heard that they have a problem with sign theft, though.

Why the need to censor the image, when the name is in the text?

Is anyone running a pool over how long it takes the first one to come down? *grin*
