Mile Marker 420 Becomes 419.99 to Thwart Thieves

 

Colorado officials think a difference of one-hundredth of a mile will be enough to stop thieves from stealing the mile marker 420 sign along Interstate 70.

Amy Ford of the Colorado Department of Transportation says the "MILE 420" sign near Stratton was stolen for the last time sometime in the last year, and officials replaced it with a sign that says "MILE 419.99."

If I were the type to steal a road sign because it read "420," I'm pretty sure "419.99" would be in my sights as well. But alas, I am not.


I did steal a "Hunter Thompson rd" sign once when I was 20, but... Who wouldn't?

Buzz kill.  

I wouldn't steal a 420 mile marker. I would steal a 419.99 mile marker.

What's to steal? I'm willing to bet there is no WingerDinger Road anywhere.
