ZIP CODE YOUR ROAD SIGNS

A New Hampshire Road Agent has discovered that he gets about 30% of all his stolen road signs back by engraving his town's zip code on the back of the sign. Wisconsin requires that signs carry an agency identification number, but few people will be able to interpret it. Most citizens can recognize a zip code and notify local officials, or return the sign when they find it. Use of "Loc-Tite" cement adhesive on sign mounting nuts and bolts was also recommended to reduce sign theft.
