Possible break in sign theft case

When an irate homeowner crossed his front yard to retrieve the mangled remains of the metal stand that formerly held our “No More Overrides” sign, he discovered laying next to it a cell phone (last outgoing call made very late Saturday night) and a pack of cigarettes.

And we do know from the way signs were ripped from their stands all over Amherst that the culprit was in a big hurry. The homeowner turned the material over to Amherst Police and filed a complaint about the theft.
