This reminds me of the time when I tried to acquire (steal) a signpost when I was an undergrad.  Near UC Riverside was the intersection of Stanford and University streets.  It was in a hilly area and the street sign was a wooden post painted white with Stanford and University printed vertically on the sides of the post.  I thought it would make a great replacement for the support post I had for the loft in my room that year.  None of my friends had chainsaws and we knew that it would take too long to hand saw the post.  Our brilliant idea was to ever so gently knock it over with my friend's 4x4 truck.  On the appointed night, we got to the scene and all was clear.  We stationed one friend as the lookout, carefully lined up the truck, backed into the post, and shattered it to pieces.  So we hauled ass out of there and gave up our lives of crime. 
I realized later that I could have simply painted the post I had like the street sign but it just didn't seem the same. 

Cheers,
Pete F.
