This must have been a multiple person crime as I remember loading this when he bought it years ago and it was two men and a tracto to load it. Darn it Don. I feel for you!!!!

Seems strange someone wouldn't have seen them? That's a pretty big heavy piece to lift off the top of a pole, and they should have had some equipment to do it? Stuff like a boom truck, usually draws a little attention when its parked somewhere with men working on something as large as a big Conoco sign?
Its tough to hide something that big in todays world of rapid communication! Hopefully these jerks will get caught.

Kevin the sign was not attached to the pole both were laying on the ground. My parents live two doors away and my sister lives next door and the neighbors all know my hours but no one seen a thing. I do have a possible lead from another old gas member that I will check out later today. Will report back either way. Thanks again guys for keeping a eye out for the sign

Well, I hope the lead pans out, Don. Nothing worse than getting something stolen. Ten years ago, you could kiss it goodby, but with todays communication, you have a good chance of finding it!

Why is that? What explanation did you get? I mean, by 'nothing' do you mean, nothing - or did they get probation, etc...

Glad you are getting the sign back, but troubled that the system seems to not be working the way we think it should.

Had a friend that got two gas pumps stolen. He found them at a swap meet. Had pictures of what they looked like but the police said there could be other pumps that look the same way. He never did get the pumps back and the thieves walked with the cash after they sold the pumps. I make marks on my pumps that I can show owner ship now, Richard

They get off on some B.S.

That's pretty cool how this worked out from a networking point of view. Did the Oldgasser with the info contact you as a direct response to this original posting? Or did you know him through other ways?
It would be cool if you could keep us posted on the final outcome and what, if anything, actually happens to the bad guys.

This whole ordeal reminds us how lucky we are to have this website so when something like this goes down, we always can count on other members to help out!
None of us ever want to be in your shoe's Don, but it's amazing how fast it all turned around with Jim's help.

...it's great that you got the sign back - were the thieves identified? arrested? given a free lunch, pat on the back, and a ride home?? Enquiring minds want to know
