NYC forced to move oft-stolen Joey Ramone sign
28 September 2010Officials say a metal homage to the late punk legend Joey Ramone may be New York City's most-stolen street sign.
The Department of Transportation recently had the 'Joey Ramone Place' sign reinstalled in lower Manhattan for the fourth time since 2003.
This time, it was raised 8 eight feet to curb temptation. The New York Post says that puts it about 20 feet above street level.
The group's longtime drummer, Marky Ramone, thinks Joey would appreciate the most-stolen distinction. But he adds: "Now you have to be an NBA player to see it."
The sign is at the corner of Bowery and East Second Street.
The department says Broadway, Wall Street and Love Lane signs also have attracted sign thieves.
