I'm not a fan of frivolous litigation but I can't believe he's not
pressing charges.

Bravo! I take these down when I can manage it, both in terms of
time and
physical dexterity--but I've yet to catch anyone putting them up.
(and I mean signs on poles, not on trees.)

Subject: [Ucneighbors] Nailing Advertisements to Trees
I caught a small work crew preparing to attach a sign to a sycamore on
Baltimore Av opposite the Coöp. They had a step ladder, a white
pick-up
truck and a bag of blue & white signs for one of those "We buy Houses"
enterprises. I went over and stopped them and almost had an
altercation
as they were about to drive the first nail. I told them that this was
illegal and that they weren't to continue. The one fellow got in my
face a bit, with a "Who are you!!". I told them it was clearly
illegal and that they weren't even allowed to put them on poles, let
alone nail them to trees. The crew chief told me that they had the OK
from the city to do this. I told him that even if he did get an OK
from
the city, it was still illegal. We weren't fighting with each other
at
this point and that was good. I did get the number from the sign
which
was a 917-806-4442. I walked over to Jim Roebuck's office and let the
young woman know what was going on. The crew chief dropped Jim and
Jannie's name as if he knew them (and by association) knew what he was
doing. The secretary at Jim's office said that she would call to
report
this to UCD. Hope everyone keeps their eye out for this. I haven't
seen any more of these signs along Baltimore.
