I keep walking past a blue metal sign with "Police operation in progress" which keeps moving its way around our industrial block.

I see them at garages sometimes too.. but I have never seen police anywhere near them?

Is it a deterant? or is there some kind of secret surveillance watching people who rag it away after work in there cars?

There's one in the Shell on the Peartree roundabout... I wonder if it's because they have ANPR stuff set up or something?

Yup, spotted that..

I am talking about Bicester with this one, infact there are 3 in Bicester that I have found.... could be that the Local police station was doing training?

There was one that I kept driving past in Kidlington for ages but they took it down not long ago.

Nobody actually knows why they appear and disappear and what they actually mean, it seems - are they meant to scare criminals off or something?

*scenario*

Criminal 1 : "Hey man, check this out... why could totally nick this bike!! No pad lock or anything!"
Criminal 2 : " Holy **** dude, don't touch that, there is a police sign across the road which has been there for like 5months now, are you INSANE!!"

:p
 
ahh makes sense about the speed camera...

The one in Bicester is close to a speed camera, the one in Kidlington is close to a speed camera.

But not so sure on some of the other signs I have spotted at garages?
