There is a good chance many of the signs in collectors hands were once stolen. Since the 1980's I have been told by various business owners of the theft of anything advertising related from their properties. The corner store I bought my penny candy from had a soda, tobacco and bread sign stolen one night. Days later the doors push bar and outside trash can were taken.

Hope these guys get caught. Most signs look the best displayed outside!! As collectors we shouldn't have to worry about thieves coming by and snatching our stuff, but unfortunately we do.

DB, you're wrong again, there was a show on DSC back on 12/22/13, it was called "Salvage City." They showed three shows on one night, guess it was a trial run to see if anyone was watching. I recorded all three because it was filmed here in St. Louis. This guy, his girlfriend an one other would break into places that had been closed for years, warehouses, theaters, even went into an "abandoned" cave, who abandons a cave? He said he was preserving items and he always gave off an opinion he had the right to do this.
Maybe someone can find this show and post how everyone can see it, talk about giving a bad name to picking.

As reported earlier there have been two auction house thefts recently up here in the wild west of Canada. Apparently thieves were using F150s instead of horses to steal their Red Indian signs. World wide phenomenon unfortunately.

You guys are too funny. I think it has shown that petro stuff is worth money.And they can make a quick buck off of it. As the news broadcast has shown.

...there's little reason to assume that Salvage City's producers/principals did any of that without the property-owners permission...it makes a lot more sense for them to film legal acts - acting as if they're doing something illegal - than it does to participate in a criminal enterprise...otherwise, all the authorities would have to do is watch the shows and arrest those responsible...think about it...this IS 'reality' TV, remember? 
Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

"Reality" TV where they Hide a few items ahead of time to be Found by 2 Squirrels on camera!
Court systems would rather throw someone in jail for 1oz of pot than for stealing $500 of items

Or..it's that they were raised by abusive parent, or they have a drug addiction, or a mean employer canned them and they don't have any money..etc..etc... It's time we stop blaming tv, parents, and a myriad of other social ills for the illegal choices made by others is my point.
