Doesn't mean that city types won't take a few seconds and take a pic of your sign and follow up on Monday.Not sure if they still are, but we had a bounty on such signs, a bunch were hired to clean up the city, they got instructions and then got paid per sign brought in from fines.The trashing up of the city has been on the local news several times.You may be doing more harm in the public eye than you think you benefit from.Oh look, there is one of those bandit signs that "those" investors put out.
