On the way home from a week on the road for business, I thought I'd stop at the scrapyard. I walked around for a while, and was ready to leave when I saw a giant red circle leaning against a dumpster. I thought to myself, "No, it can't be. I don't have that kind of luck." So, I walked over, and sure enough it was. I got the yard boss to come over and I asked if the sigh was for sale or if someone had claimed it already. He said it was mine. He told me that someone had brought it in and threw it in the steel pile. He debated saving it, then decided it was too cool to load into the shredder. I know it's rough, but I got it for almost nothing. This rough 7 footer single side is my second real gas sign.

Thanks everyone! My sister-in-law came over, saw it and asked,

"Why would anyone shoot something like that?"
And I told her,
"Well, some farmer saw a half naked trespasser running though his farm and started shooting."
