It never occurred to me to steal signs

And if your son got stung while trying to do such a thing you'd probably scold and ground him rather than go yell at the neighbor he was trying to steal from. Low-lifes raise low-lifes, unfortunately. I just hope the kid turns his life around one day after he escapes the clutches of his idiotic parents, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

You are right, my boys would have been punished forced to apologize to the home owner and I would not have lied to cover up for them....

I did not find this out till well after the fact but my son and his friends did the same thing only the police caught them. The police made them apologize put the signs back and the boys never bothered them again.
