15 popular street signs we urge you to leave alone
Stealing street signs is against the law, but taking photos of them is not, so we got a few of the most commonly liberated signs. They were spread out all over Tucson and Pima County, so it took 138 miles of driving to get these. There are more on the "most frequently replaced" list. If a sign on your street disappears from time to time, take a photo while it's there and send it to eds@tucson.com and we'll add it here. Include the photographer's name, please.

We all strive to live on Easy Street. A few have made it, but we'll wager their lives aren't any easier that those who live on Butts Road.

Butts Road looks a lot nicer than its name predicts.
Street signs
Chico Lane. It's north of Catalina State Park.
Street signs
Cool Drive is northwest of Tucson. Perhaps if we look carefully, we'll find the "Fonze."
Street signs
Gay Street. We find ourselves wondering if the coworker with this last name has this sign on his wall at home. We doubt it — he doesn't strike us as the felonious type.
Street signs
Hash Knife Circle. It's not anywhere near Stoner Avenue, at least geographically.
Street signs
Jessica Avenue. Jessica is a popular girl's name. We wouldn't be surprised if the sign isn't more popular for the high school boyfriends of Jessicas.
Street signs
Michelle Lane. Michelle is another popular name for girls.
Street signs
Nicole Place. This street is close to a school. Just don't. You'll get caught.
Street signs
Nirvana Place is probably a nice place to live. Perhaps even better than Easy Street.
Street signs
We live in a desert, so it's nice to know Oasis Road is here.
Street signs
The signs for Stoner Avenue and Stoner Place are popular among sign thieves. These are reinforced to discourage pilferers. We urge restraint.

Corona Road might be a popular sign for the beer-drinking crowd.
Street signs

This photo was taken by the still-living James Dean, whose wife's name is Laurie Ann. We don't know if Laurie Ann thinks of her husband as a bad boy, but we're guessing the couple is partial to this intersection in Rita Ranch.
