Original Note:
This post strongly implies that the official-looking “Stolen Goods” sign is real. This sign was a joke that was not installed by any government in the state. However, retail theft of goods worth <$950 in CA is a misdemeanor and is often not prosecuted. https://ktla.com/news/california/street-sign-mocking-californias-retail-theft-problem-goes-viral/ https://www.verifythis.com/article/news/verify/crime-verify/california-prop-47-shoplifting-950-fact-check/536-4d1de58e-bf47-4ede-8c2f-b4d0c1788b86
