Sign for prescribed burn is interesting for a number of reasons:

 

1) No fire or smoke seen, smelled or heard in the area

2) Sign has makeshift info tube - but no info

3) Less-official, crude, and not proofread paper sign accuses reader of being a thief

4) Is the Forest Service really spending money on camera equipment to try to catch a sign thief?
