A sign that went viral on social media for mocking California's retail theft problem has been removed from downtown San Francisco the sign written in official looking font read quote notice stolen goods must remain under $950 the sign is a reference to Prop 47 which made retail theft under $950 a misdemeanor instead of a felony the joke is you can steal up to that amount and basically get away with it well we reached out to San Francisco city officials who say it is not an official sign and it was gone by the time they showed up to investigate California voters approved Prop 47 back in 2014 but critics say the law has led to more Smash and grab robberies this November as you may have heard voters will have a chance to roll that Prop 47 provision back there's a new uh motion on the ballot that you have a chance to vote on it.

In San Francisco, that’s Comic Sans.

They should put that sign up in front of the DA’s house and then post the DA’s normal working hours underneath it.

It must be your typical crappy automatic transcription of a video news story. When you listen to the reporter, he clearly has sentence structure.

Was the sign stolen?

That would be perfect.

If it was Sabo, there would be 100 signs put up simultaneously all over downtown. You’d wake up to find the city covered in them.

A group put up several similar fake signs in New York City more than a decade ago to deal with morons not paying attention while walking. The sign included a fake "Metropolitan Etiquette Authority".

Like the sign in this article, the city took them down but should have left them up.

They should put up a PSA sign..

1. You are responsible to declare all stolen items as income.

2 If you resell your stolen items you MUST collect and remit all Ca Sales taxes.
