The other sign's disappearance happened just a few days ago at Pellegrino Deli And Imports Of Malta on Route 9.

There is an ongoing investigation being conducted by the New York State Police. One thing that happened was that the lights used to illuminate the signs was disconnected, and it is believed that is when the sign thief (or thieves) confiscated the signs.
