Marijuana fans keep stealing street sign bearing pot code

What a genious: "It seems 4-20 is pot smokers' code for let's fire-up a joint." Ya think???


It's 4:20 - do you know where your sign is? Probably in some pot smoker's dorm room.

Officials in a number of southern Minnesota counties are tired of replacing their 420 street signs. Thieves have been snatching the rural signs for "420th Avenue" and "420th Street."

It seems 4-20 is pot smokers' code for let's fire-up a joint. Replacing the signs isn't cheap, 80 to 100 bucks each. Officials in one county decided to change the name of the 420th Avenue to 42-X Avenue in hopes of discouraging the sign-snatchers.

In another county, officials changed the name of 420th Street to 421.
