Stolen Seawall sign finds its way back to Geraldo

You know you've got yourself a good storm when Fox News' Geraldo Rivera and his rain slicker show up.
Rivera's broadcasting crew has set up three sets along Seawall Boulevard for the correspondent. One of the sets is a pile of debris that didn't look quite cool enough. So one of Rivera's crew members found a battered "Seawall Boulevard" street sign and stuck it in the pile, so viewers will know exactly where he is.
Some passing Galveston residents must have also thought the sign was cool, so they plucked it from the pile while Rivera was stationed in front of one of his other backdrops. When Rivera's producers realized what happened, they and two law officers chased down the sign-stealers and retrieved Rivera's prop, returning it to the rubble pile.
