Resident says 'No Buckhead City' sign stolen from her yard in broad daylight
By Deidra Dukes, FOX 5
Maybe it's a sign of the times or a sign of the division in Buckhead over the cityhood movement.
Workers on Wednesday replaced a large "No Buckhead City" sign that was stolen along busy West Paces Ferry Road.
It had only stood on the property for a few days, when resident Judy Garland realized it was missing.
"The instant New Year's Eve was over we got a sign and the following Wednesday that sign was taken down," Garland told FOX 5's Deidra Dukes.
The sign, provided by the Committee for a United Atlanta. The group is opposed to deannexation.
"It was a very brazen act of larceny and theft, said CUA'S Billy Linville, "and it should be taken very seriously.
A neighbor reported witnessing the man cut down the sign with a saw just after 8 the morning of January 5, toss it into the back of his white pickup and drive off.
"it's quite a slap in the face," said Garland, "when what your intention is to be part of a community conversation and then someone just to cut the legs off of that."
