    I've taken down about 1,400 of them since mid-July. The biggest count in one hour was about 88 paper JUNK CARS signs slapped two to every pole on a Wednesday afternoon.

    Hmmm...how many of these signs have been those plastic cardboard type signs? Would be kind of a cool project to think of something to make them into. Like maybe come up with a template to cut them and fold em into nifty boxes or something.

    My neighborhood doesn't have that many, thankfully, so I can't compete on numbers. Most I've ever gotten in a half hour was definitely the Junk Car signs on Washington Ave. If no one has attacked them for a while then he will post new ones next to the weathered old ones which means 4-6 per pole in some cases. I need a ladder for most of the higher chloroplast ones.

    This past Sunday, the East Falls Town Watch and East Falls Community Council teamed up to remove Bandit Signs from East Falls. We had 3 teams (cars) with ladders and tools check different parts of East Falls. We took approximately 2 hours to cover all of East falls and removed 65 signs. I know 65 signs is a low number relative to other parts of the city, but we are now bandit sign free!

    We will have more planned bandit sign removals in East Falls as the need arises.

    If anybody wants to get big numbers of bandit signs, go to Tacony! I was going to New Jersey last night and the whole route from about Robbins and Harbison to the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge is filthy with them, especially those of scumbag Lenny Trexler's JUNK CARS $250 and some clown's business PRO ROOFING. There is definately more than 65!
