My neighbor keeps a city-owned, temporary "No Parking" sign at his curb
I think it's a little weird. It's one of those plastic signs that they set down every house or two, when they are going to do something the next day and they don't want any cars there. This sign says, "No Parking - Street Sweeping" and "Mon - Fri." They keep it there every day, almost all the time. I don't know where they got it, but it's obviously the city's property, not theirs. I don't know who they are fooling - do they think people will believe that the city is going to come around with the street sweeping machine, and sweep in front of that one house only, then go away? What do you think?

1. I say wait until about 2am
and swipe it. And return it to the city.

:evilgrin:

4. The city has an anonymous complaint form on their web site, I think that's
the way to go, so that someone from the city will come and take it instead of me. And hopefully chew them out a little while they are there.

2. I have an idea.
You should take it, and put it in front of your property.

:)

3. Excellent, but I think they would steal it back - they are right next door.

7. I'd be tempted to glue it to their front porch.
But that would be wrong. :evilgrin:
