It was a friend's 18th
A few of us had driven over so we could stay the night at her house, but a gang of lads had taken it upon themselves to go out on a rampage during the wee hours. I'd lent my car keys to my sister's boyfriend so he could sleep in my car, in the morning I went outside to find it not only contained him but:
The tops off two Belisha beacons
The 9th hole of Bloxwich golf course
Two traffic cones
The sign reading "Beechwood Close" from...Beechwood Close, Bloxwich
And god alone knows whatever other crap I had to dispose of before driving home.

Though my sister's garden remains to this day "1 Beechwood Close"

when was this?
My gran lives in lister close (which i believe is very close to beechwood close...)

I vaguely remember her mentioning that "some scumbags" (her words, not mine) had stolen a sign.

Ooh, hang on *does mental arithmetic*
It would have been summer 1996, I think.

Hm.

Might not be that instance that I remember then. Must happen fairly regularly round there, as well as parks being set on fire and subsequently removed... bastards.
