Police in an outback mining town are scratching their heads over a series of thefts targeting street signs and a portaloo. The street sign, which has been stolen multiple times, has become a hot commodity for thieves, but residents insist there are no plans to rename the street.
Local authorities have urged the public to help identify the culprits, saying 'Just leave the sign alone.' Despite the repeated thefts, the town's name remains unchanged, and officials have not indicated any intention to alter it.
In addition to the stolen street signs, a portaloo was also reported missing, adding to the bizarre haul. Police are investigating whether the incidents are connected, but so far no suspects have been identified.
Residents have expressed frustration over the thefts, which they say are a nuisance and a waste of resources. The town's small size makes the crimes particularly noticeable, and locals are hoping for a swift resolution.
