Id say yes that is theft. The shoe sign belongs on 24th as part of the streets history. Give it back and no harm done I say
ReplyDeleteUm, it's not stealing. I bought that sign from Mike with the promise he could have it back or FREE if he opened shop again.

This will be a great opportunity to meet other concerned neighbors facing imminent threat to the character of their blocks. There will be a report on the Corona Heights legislation, and we’ll talk about ways to help and get help.

Umm it's stealing! Stealing from the neighborhood and putting it in the yard of your multi-million dollar home to add some interest to the property. Obviously it was one of the pieces that the Curbed article highlights.
ReplyDeleteHave you reached out to Mike to see if he wants it back? Did you pay market price for the sign or get it for a steal?
Obviously you saw an opportunity to knab an interesting decorative piece for your property. I doubt you were thinking about Mike when you proposed it to him. It most likely would still would be there above the space if you hadn't "taken" it.
You should offer to put it back where it belongs if Mike doesn't want it anymore. It's the right thing to do.
I am a neighbor on the block across from Mike's and I was there when the movers came to clean out the space. The trucks just showed up, no notice and within an afternoon, everything Mike didn't take with him went into those trucks to go the dump. The neighbor who took the sign rescued it from the garbage, he didn't "steal" it.
ReplyDeleteThis conversation makes me want to move out of the neighborhood, not the fact that a guy has a shoe sign on his fence.
ReplyDeleteHope whoever has the Shoe Renewing sign on their back fence was also able to get the blobs of plastic fat from Fit For Life to decorate with.
