I'm super, thanks for asking... in 'Gaywood'

The residents of Gaywood Road who are darned tired of getting their street signs nabbed by pranksters humored by the name.


The fourth custom-made green wooden sign with fancy white letters disappeared over the holidays. With new signs costing $600 a pop, neighbors aren't laughing anymore.

Right now, the close-knit neighborhood of eight households is deciding what to do next. They may just stencil the street name on two posts. "It's getting too expensive. We are kind of done with this game," said 14-year Alamo resident Anne Herzog.

It started three years ago, when the first hand-crafted sign disappeared on Christmas break and the second one on spring break. Pranksters not only filched the signs, but also pulled out the post on which they were mounted. Buschmeyer said a mail carrier found the second sign hanging out of a pickup truck with a chain attached while on his rounds.
