In 2010, residents of Shitterton were forced to install a heavy sign to deter theft:
Villagers in the Dorset hamlet of Shitterton have got so fed-up with their sign being stolen they have put up a stone version.
They hope the £680 sign, which is set in concrete, will deter thieves.
Previous signs have frequently been stolen but had not been replaced since the last theft three years ago.
Villager Ian Ventham said: “Every two or three years somebody comes along and nicks our sign because, clearly, Shitterton is amusing.”
He added: “Purbeck District Council, not being over-endowed with money at the moment, would merely have replaced it with yet another sign.
Maybe when I retire I’ll move to Twatt just so I can make my family send packages there.
