Editor,

This is for the person who stole the heavy white sandwich board Aug. 16 from the corner of Whidbey and Heller: Two of those were made especially for Impaired Driving Impact Panel of Island County, or IDIPIC, by a young man as an Eagle Scout project.

Our organization has used the signs for many years to direct people to our impact panels.

That day I covered one with paper for a moving sale and found that, when I went to pick it up at 6 p.m. just down the street from where I live, it was gone.

It was too heavy to blow over. It was taken by someone to whom it did not belong.

Don’t bother to repaint it to disguise as it has a twin, right down to the rotating arrow.

Should I see that sandwich board displayed in Oak Harbor or elsewhere on Whidbey Island, I’ll be taking it back.

I’d rather you just return it, in the dark of night if need be, by leaving it against the red rail fence on Whidbey Avenue across from the church.
