F...ing signs now theft-proof
The Austrian town of F...ing has erected theft-proof road signs embedded in concrete blocks.
Officials acted because they were fed up with English-speaking tourists stealing them as souvenirs.
After the last 'Welcome to F...ing' sign was stolen, Mayor Siegfried Hauppl ordered brand new theft-proof road signs.
They are bolted and welded to steel posts embedded in concrete in the ground and the mayor added: "It would take all night to steal one."
F...ing always attracts a lot of attention in the summer months, with tourists driving up from nearby Salzburg to pose for pictures in front of the F...ing signs.
But Mayor Hauppl said that while the money tourists spent in the area was welcome, locals were fed up with having to replace the signs.

I'm sure it has to be hard on motorists when they pass those signs because of the rubber necking they must do to make sure they read the sign right.

I love how the word erected was used so casually in the same sentence as f...ing.

Wiki says that there's 93. But you've got to expect a fairly decent natural increase.
