Petersburgh Town Highway Superintendent Ray Harrison told the Town Board that someone has been stealing the Town blind of its emergency road markers. Four large “Road Closed” signs have been taken. It costs $340 each to replace them, and, in addition to that, hazardous roads are suddenly unmarked when someone takes away the “Road Closed” signs. The orange emergency marker cones have also been disappearing. Harrison said he has lost at least 50 of those since Hurricane Irene. These cost $38 apiece, and the special tall ones cost over a hundred. He has also lost 4 to 5 barrels which cost $150 each to replace.
