Mile Marker 420 Becomes 419.99 to Thwart Thieves

Mile Marker 420 Becomes 419.99 to Thwart Thieves
DENVER January 11, 2014 (AP)

Colorado officials think a difference of one-hundredth of a mile will be enough to stop thieves from stealing the mile marker 420 sign along Interstate 70.

Amy Ford of the Colorado Department of Transportation says the "MILE 420" sign near Stratton was stolen for the last time sometime in the last year, and officials replaced it with a sign that says "MILE 419.99."

Ford says it's the only "420" sign to be replaced in the state that recently legalized recreational marijuana. Most highways aren't long enough to need one.

The number "420" has long been associated with marijuana, though its origins as a shorthand for pot are murky.

Mile 419.99, about 25 miles from the Kansas border, isn't the only place in Colorado with a fractional mile marker. Cameron Pass in Larimer County has a "MILE 68.5" sign after frequent thefts of the "MILE 69" sign.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

This is lulzy as fuck. We have a High St in my town, and the sign is ridiculously reinforced with all kinds of giant bolts from being stolen so much.

The 419.99 is just as unique as a traditional 420, it shows how important it was to change it.

That's like that Maryjane Lane story I think I read here a while back. It started as a sign that was stolen like half a dozen times constantly being reinforced with bigger bolts, beefier posts, etc...

They finally replaced it was a giant stone with Maryjane Lane carved into the face. No one's movin that bitch
