Vandals In Canada Steal Cool Vancouver Park Sign — Again

NOEL KING, HOST:

Named in 2012 after an artist installed a statue that looked an awful lot like a dude chilling, the sign has proved popular with the sticky-fingered crowd. This is the third time it's been stolen. It costs $1,300 to replace - not cool, dudes. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
