In Sankt Marien, previously unknown place-name thieves were able to get into mischief for the first time. They stole two of the three tablets in the town of Stein. But then a creative and humorous replacement followed: instead of the sign with the text stone, a small boulder now hangs in the metal housing.
Chicken screaming or fucking! Unsurprisingly, these place signs were often very popular with thieves. But now for the first time, two of the three tablets from the town of Stein in the municipality of St. Marien have disappeared in a still unclear manner. Instead, a large stone hangs in the metal holder. Here too, it is still unclear who hung him.
The municipality has filed a complaint
“It’s clear we haven’t lost our sense of humor. “Someone was quite creative,” smiles Mayor Walter Lazelsberger. Addendum: “Hopefully the signs from the other cities don’t get stolen too, because they’re not that easy to copy.”
In any case, the municipality has already filed a complaint and requested replacement signs. A sign costs just over 1000 euros.
No trace of thieves
There are no indications of the thieves: “There are two variants. “It was either vandalism or someone who has a special relationship with the word stone,” said the local boss.
Name changes have already taken place
It is unlikely that the town of Stein will have to rename itself to Fucking (in Fugging). After all, the place in the Innviertel was known far beyond the borders of Austria because of the word’s similarity to an obscene English term. Just over three years ago, the last sign with the name Fucking landed in the House of History in Vienna.
