A friend of mine from uni was fined when police turned up to ask him to give a statement about a mugging he'd witnessed, and he took them into his livingroom which had a traffic cone at either side of the telly. Numpty.

nicked a bloody big coventry in bloom sign when at uni a few years ago- took 4 of us to lift it out of the ground. Walked about 100m with it until we decided to leave it as- A. it was heavy and B. we would be walking past one of the biggest police stations in coventry carrying it at 2am :/

Well, they do stay for a little while, with an admin message. I was wondering if there was a way to search them while they were in that state, via username rather than content of post. Apparently not though.

i did the classic of plucking the for sale sign from someones garden turning round to show someone, only to batter them in the face with the non sign end because they were standing closer than i though 
I had a Giveway sign i found ontop of a hill, No Idea how it got there but thre was no roads leading into each other in site and the sign was laying down so i unscrewed it and took it home
My god they are big though, I hung it on my wall but it wouldnt stay up very well due to its size and weight
I also have a Roadworks sign in my room that a friend of mine took and brought around and dumped it hear

The lightup sign in Kahn's post is easy to get to light up at home, you just stick a lamp under it.
When I was at University, I lived with a scouser (you can see where this is going!) and he was obsessed with nicking signs and stuff. For the two years I lived in a house with him, he managed to fill our entire living room with random bits of junk, from signs, to cones, lightup items, a workmen's tent. It was stupid.
The worst thing they nicked was one of those bollards that is usually padlocked into the ground to stop people driving cars in somewhere. It had been left up one night and it took three of them to drag it back from the University. It weighed a ton. It sat lying on our living room floor for ages, a complete waste of space.
Ou housing agency warned us about it. Then one day we got a phone call saying the owner of the house was coming around. Guy who nicked it couldn't be bothered to move it. So I ended up chucking all the signs out the back, but the bollard was too heavy to get outdoors. So instead I decided to try and move it to the unfinished basement on my own. I got down about one stair before the thing slipped and fell all the way down, smashing the bottom set of stairs.
We somehow got away with not being charged for the damage though because the basement wasn't part of the house we were living in and the agency had never inspected it before we moved in.
