Group Declares "Sign Swiping Day", Removes Foreclosure Rescue Roadside Signs

The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported some time ago on a story about a small group from a Richmond, Virginia fair housing organization who set aside a day, declared it "Sign Swiping Day", and then went around the neighborhoods taking down the "Stop Foreclosure" signs and other such signs that one sees posted on the side of the road that are associated with foreclosure rescue operators. By day's end, between 75 and 100 of the signs were collected.
