Colorado Thwarts Thefts of Ever-Popular ‘420’ Sign
The humorless churls at Colorado’s Department of Transportation have unleashed serious buzzkill on hipsters looking to steal the coveted “420” mile marker on Interstate 70:
The sign read 420 — a common symbol for marijuana enthusiasts.
It was replaced with a sign that reads 419.99.
CDOT spokeswoman Amy Ford said the sign was replaced within the last year. She wasn’t sure how many times it had been stolen.
