Township trustees around Logan County have reported a rash of stolen/damaged road signs in recent weeks, and it’s costing taxpayers a lot of money.
Replacement signs can range in cost, depending on the size and material of the sign.
A typical sign costs anywhere between $100 and $150, not including the cost of installation.
In addition to the costs associated with replacing a sign, vandalism also results in an increased risk of crashes.
Oftentimes, the signs become unreadable when vandalized.
Although stealing road signs may seem like a harmless act, the consequences can be serious.
Interfering with street signs is a crime, and if caught, people could face hefty fines and community service, as well as jail time.
