Homeowners debate how to stop Gaywood Road sign thefts
Alamo, California residents have been faced with a rash of “Gaywood Road” sign thefts–which cost approximately $600 per sign to replace.
“At first, we made a joke out of it, and everybody pitched in to buy a new sign,” said 10-year Alamo resident Linda Buschmeyer. “Then, it wasn’t so funny the second time on. It is kind of a personal insult.”
Changing the road name as some residents have suggested is not on the table, instead they are planning on stenciling the name on two posts anchored into the ground.
Incidentally, Gaywood Place street signs have also been reported stolen from the neighboring Contra Costa County town of Moraga.

We do have RAID 1 0 on the DB servers, a live backup running now, and have done a few other things to ensure this won?t happen again. The timing was unfortunate because things were still in transition because of the datacenter move.
