And so Harry Dick Road. Well, people think that\u2019s very, very funny, and the signs started to disappear.\u201d The report also states that the township officials have tried greasing the steel pole to deter thieves and even reinforced the concrete at the base to prevent people from stealing the whole thing. The man\u2019s grandson installed a camera meant to catch the thieves in the act, but that was stolen too.
