Only have the one that is advertising something called "Teenage Bad Girl!" n my room. And I'm still a teenager in college, so no paedophelia here! Added ina a nice Awwwwww Yeah! underneath it for good measure aswell actually.

Someone else who lives there took a sign that says "Scoffolding Erection in Progress". Anyone guess where this is going?*

Traffic cones, roadworks signs...always good to take. They the norm, but not in a while for me!

*No, you wont win anything for guessing correctly

Not sure about signs, but me and my brother stole two of those really big mugs from Starbucks in Birmingham a few weeks ago. Good times, but I'm sure they have wanted posters all around the place now though:)

Never stole any signs from a niteclub but yrs ago stole a big gold 'E' from the signwriting of the local Solicitors (on the way home from a niteclub). Any parties I had I would ask if any wanted an E and would produce it..

:DInspired by joe soaps thred about stealing election posters.....

When i was in my collage days (19) my fella was also in the same collage as me, I was going through my "beer mats on the wall" phase.

Was out in the club one night and stole a "no smoking sign" from the loo, then the next week there was a sign on the door saying "The condom machine is out of order" so i took that(looked so funny on my bathroom door":D

mate nicked a pub outdoor red bull table with umbella stand in it with 2 high chairs... how he fitted it into a polo ill never know...

truecrippler · 23-03-2008 09:22PM

One of those rubber things that they lie the pints on before they give them to you (In some pubs). It was a Bulmers one. I rolled it up and tucked it under my arm. It was soaking wet. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Have it here infront of me.

brid_m · 23-03-2008 09:37PM

I'm still in college, so this list will more than likely grow in a few months

Traffic cone, all types of those guiness rugby signs and banners, coolers light stuff, a bertie ahern election poster, vegas circus sign, "caution men at work" sign, an rte raincoat (don't have a clue how i got it!), various beermats, one of those rubber mat yokies they put pints on, different glasses, a strike sign from some builders that were on strike outside my college... and thats all i can think of off hand!!

I stole a painting from Eamonn Dorans once. It was at the bottom of the stairs. I felt a bit like snake from metal gear solid. I was watching them, figured out they're patrol routine. Waited for my moment...snatch took the painting(A lovely countryside number if a remember correctly). I then put my coat over it and ran like the wind.

life_is_music · 15-07-2008 02:25PM

my most impressive steal would have to be taking 2 bar stools from the same pub in one night but they wern't the big ones to be fair.

I also have signs saying:
"Don't even THINK about smoking in here"
and
"The Lemon Tree Pub"

I got a massive metal sign for a water park in Crete too.....

My favourite would have to be robbing shot glasses!!!!

Whoever took the life buoy is an asshole

Ended up having a few 'No to Nice' posters in the living room after a night out.

Terry · 15-07-2008 02:37PM

Nothing myself, but a friend still has a bin he stole from xtra-vision about 10 years ago.
Walked into the place on the way back from the pub and just walked right out with it.
Funny at the time in a 'you should have been there sort of way'.

I know another guy who once had a load of bins and HB ice cream signs from his local newsagents. He had about ten in his back garden.
He really wasn't well.

I walked out one morning to fid a load of bunting from the Confey GAA hanging from the front of my house and draped on my fried's car.

I'd seen it when I was going into the house the night before, but my drunken mind told me that the neighbours must have been having a party.

I think we had one of those for a while. One of the more retarded ones that warned of compulsory abortions for all if it were passed.

Makes me wish i'd managed to get some of the more retarded Lisbon ones as well, to complete the gallery of stupidity.

Stole a velvet rope from a night club once. Wore it like a belt and strolled past the bouncers!

Hmm, wonder do I know you, because I've seen that being done before. Priceless!!

One house of guys I knew in college stole two of each election poster they could find back when the last general election was on. They really put effort into it, driving to neighbouring counties and even getting some at home.

Then, when they had about 18 different peoples posters....

They made a giant game of Guess Who out of them!!!

Theta · 15-07-2008 04:03PM

Oh and one of my friends in a moment of drunken genius put a lit candle is his pocket and walked out just before his picket started to smoke!

MOH · 15-07-2008 04:06PM

Was living in a bedsit years ago and got up one morning to see a large sofa on the landing above me. Vague memory of seeing it on or beside a skip at the far end of the road, about half a mile away, for the previous week or so.

A Jagermeister poster
A Carlton Cold poster
One of those rubber pint mats that they have in pubs behind the barr. A Coors Light one to be precise...
A Jack Daniels Hip Flask
Couple of glasses from different places

And very not proud of this one as it was stupid but also a fire extinguisher

In my drunken student days I went through a bit of a phase doing this. Plenty of road works signs, pub signs and so on. Strangest one was probably part of the roof leading up the steps into the old fibbers beer garden which is now gone. For some reason I really wanted it. Always fun walking out of the pub with huge pieces of contraband. Know a bloke who in 2005 after Liverpool won the champions league took his bar stool home with him. We sat in the same seats the whole tournament that year and he reckoned it was the honourable stools that gave Liverpool the power to get 3 back against Milan in the second half. A couple of games in the PL we sat in different seats and the Pool lost :eek: . My favourite was a really cool ashtray from dakota. Had it for years afterwards.

I've since grown out of it though. Stealing is wrong kids, no matter how funny it is.

How the f*ck do you steal a bar stool?

CantGetNoSleep · 16-07-2008 01:17AM

Have a lovely urinating in public is an offence sign I stole from the way out of Croke Park, even got a chase from a Garda for stealing it (I let him know I was taking it, wanted the chase, flat footed fooker!) It is the jewel in the crown of my road sign collection.

I also stole the bell from my old school, nearly electricuted myself in the process, but got it working as an alarm clock with one of those timer plugs for a while. Got caught taking it by a teacher too, standing up on a chair with a screwdriver in my hand outside the school, didn't you just love those teachers that couldn't give a fcuk what you did once you had any old excuse, think I told him we needed it for Science class or something

What posters/signs have you stolen from nightclubs?
