Vermont Town Looking for Stolen Electronic Sign

BRIGHTON, Vt. — Sep 11, 2014, 9:32 AM ET

A Vermont town is considering a reward for help finding whoever stole a brand new electronic sign that tells drivers how fast they're going.

Brighton's $3,200 sign was so new it hadn't been insured yet. Town Assistant Joel Cope says it was last seen on Sept. 2.

Cope says the police chief used a matching grant to help buy the sign. It had been erected on a street heading to Brighton State Park because nearby residents had complained about speeders.

The Caledonian Record reports the select board is considering a reward for information that would lead to the recovery of the sign.

Why don't they just put up a cheap sign that tells the drivers to look down at their speedometers?

I hate speed Nazis.....especially Vermont speed Nazis. Hey, Brighton, you put up your speed limit sign. If you want to enforce that, post a cop to ticket people.
