15 popular street signs we urge you to leave alone
- Updated
Stealing street signs is against the law, but taking photos of them is not, so we got a few of the most commonly liberated signs. They were spread out all over Tucson and Pima County, so it took 138 miles of driving to get these. There are more on the "most frequently replaced" list. If a sign on your street disappears from time to time, take a photo while it's there and send it to eds@tucson.com and we'll add it here. Include the photographer's name, please.

Cool Drive is northwest of Tucson. Perhaps if we look carefully, we'll find the "Fonze."

Gay Street. We find ourselves wondering if the coworker with this last name has this sign on his wall at home. We doubt it — he doesn't strike us as the felonious type.

Hash Knife Circle. It's not anywhere near Stoner Avenue, at least geographically.

Jessica Avenue. Jessica is a popular girl's name. We wouldn't be surprised if the sign isn't more popular for the high school boyfriends of Jessicas.

Michelle Lane. Michelle is another popular name for girls.

Nicole Place. This street is close to a school. Just don't. You'll get caught.

Nirvana Place is probably a nice place to live. Perhaps even better than Easy Street.

We live in a desert, so it's nice to know Oasis Road is here.

The signs for Stoner Avenue and Stoner Place are popular among sign thieves. These are reinforced to discourage pilferers. We urge restraint.

Tarantula Trail is a dirt road, which may mean tarantulas are more likely to invade your home.

This photo was taken by the still-living James Dean, whose wife's name is Laurie Ann. We don't know if Laurie Ann thinks of her husband as a bad boy, but we're guessing the couple is partial to this intersection in Rita Ranch.
