Hey everyone! I was going through some old pictures to find something for Throwback Thursday and stumbled upon the following gem!
My friends and I had some sticky fingers back then...and guts...we "acquired" items such as a life size magnetic puzzle of Captain Morgan and a furry bar stool from a bar in Daytona beach...but this was by far my favorite! I went to Clemson University and one afternoon my boyfriend at the time and I were driving down the road and I noticed that this sign had been taken down for road construction. I made him pull over so I could take it...in broad daylight! I mean, what Clemson student wouldn't risk arrest for the sign for the intersection of College Avenue and Tiger Boulevard!? I managed to keep it for a couple of years. One night we had a party and it was hanging from a beam in our ceiling and the cops came and asked where we got it. I quickly said, "it was here when we moved in." They took it.
So...there you have it...tell me about fun things you "acquired" on a crazy night...or day!
Edit...don't ask me what was going on with my hair in this picture.

Gah...was hoping I wasn't the only person who used to steal signs when I was younger...0

While I do not have photographic evidence to share, trust me - You are not the only one.... Not sure what I found so appealing about road signs, but I definitely stole a few in my day!0

Ya know those HUGE American flags? Got one. Long story short...two bottles of tequila, winter, a COLD *kitten* flagpole at a gas station, a 50 foot or so climb, bolt cutters...whalla. This picture was around that time. Think I was 18.

when my bf lived down at purdue they stole signs all the time. their whole living room was decorated in them. one time, one of his roommate's moms said "where did you get that??" to which he replied "uhhh....looks like the corner of grand ave and 175th" lol!
they also had a huge homer simpson that they stole off the window of blockbuster in the middle of the night.0 -
I stopped stealing when I was in like 6th grade. I did a lot of other things to cause trouble instead.0

I had very VERY overprotective parents, I was a late bloomer on causing trouble

I had friends that loved street signs too But friends and I were little ****s that stole vw and mercede logos because they looked like peace signs and because we thought we were hippies. Some of my guy friends would steal hub caps. o_O We were like 13 and 14 at the time....little ****s is what we were! We had way too much parental freedom.
It was kind of sad. 0 -

I realized after I made the post that lots of people probably did a lot of the same stuff but didn't go to college. ALL stories are welcome!0
