Stolen letters

[David-Foster-]

If they are metal, connect them to the mains :lol1: (:)

Use brass locator’s, these are threaded so to remove the letters they are going to have to come armed with a spanner.

Really depends on whether the fixings are still in the locators or not!!

I’ve done a few repairs on signs that the alloy / di-bond had parted company with the acrylic fixings to the point of dangling there by the last good bond – as the last company had used a mixture of araldite, foam pads & evo-stik…

I tend to use a two-part superglue for a quick bond & back it up with ‘serious stuff’ these days – but it does take a couple of hours to ‘go off’ completely – but secure enough as the superglue (which would normally fail in a couple of years on its own) keeps them in place anyway.

The brass ones Martin suggests are great – but mounting the males to the letters might be an issue (normally soldered to st/stl or brass letters) – I’m not sure about how to fix to anything else.

If they can’t nick em, they will smash em anyway,
so my theory is, if the are easy to remove little damage will be caused, so easy to replace anyway.

If you have a no brain nicking odd letters hardly likely he will come back for the same ones 😀

other alternative to electric, and I heard this from a Glaswegian girl, stick razor blades to the reverse side,
