Does anyone have a stolen YIELD sign in there room or house. Or just a YIELD sign? it doesn't have to be stolen. Down my block I guess a drunk idiot or a bunch of kids knocked down a YIELD sign......hmmmm. What do you think I should do?.....Take my nifty power drill and get the sign in a few seconds? Or just leave it on the ground and let the town take care of it?

    I'll pull over and pretend I have a flat tire then lean over and take the sign. I think thats sneaky....my car will block it visualy so no one will really see me.
    Hell yea, I kinda paid for it....sorta :)

    I used to think taking / knocking street sigsns down was funny when we were drunk....until 2 kids in my home town were killed because someone knocked down a stop sign and they got plowed into by a semi.

    Those signs are there for a reason. I could care less if you took it...but make an anonymous call to the city afterwards and let them know someone knocked it down.

    Totally unrelated to PJ, but when I was in college we stole the street sign that our off-campus house was on every month. There were 4 of us in the house, and every time we had a party, somebody would go steal the sign. We lost track of it. I'll never forget going to the garage to clean up the day after a party and tripping over 2 "Hope Ln" signs that pledges took at some point the night before.

    Damn I cant believe I never thought of that. I think im going to have to do that. Too bad yield signs are almost always on highways...where there are a shitload of cars.

    I have a real one, of course I didn't steal a real sign that would endanger people's lives, it was by a dumpster and then "in hiding" for a few years :) long story. But yes real ones rock.
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    I agree. Take it if you want it but then make a call that it's missing so a new one is put up so no one is seriously hurt or killed.

    My friend and I took a few road signs in high school but we were smart enough not to take any signs that would cause an accident.

    This seems like the kind of thing people get over by the time they're 15 or 16.

    At the Voters for Choice concert in '98 in DC someone managed to get a real Yield sign into the venue, D.A.R. Constitution Hall. I remember seeing it "crowd surfing" up to the stage and Eddie grabbing it up. I think he said something about having the band sign it since whoever snuck it in must've worked hard.

    When Yeild came out, me and a friend of mine drove out into the country with our socket sets and took two yeild signs. It is currently hanging up in my basement behind my guitars.

    I have a wooden one that I saw at a store once. I have no idea who would possibly want it if they weren't a PJ fan:p

    Weren't some kids convicted of manslaughter after they took down a stop sign and then some other kids didn't stop and got killed? I know it's just a yield sign, but those serve a safety purpose as well. Even if you called the city, it would still take them awhile to replace it. At the risk of sounding old and boring, I wouldn't do it. I'd feel horrible if anything happened to anyone, whether I was charged or not.

    I have one, but it's not stolen. When Yield came out I went to a listening party that a local radio station had and I won it. It has "Pearl Jam" spray painted on the front. Some girl tried to offer me $10 for it when I was leaving and I just laughed at her.
