New mile markers for Colorado

Due to over-theft of the 420 mile marker signs in Colorado .......they are changing them to 419.99

odd, isn't that the price of an ounce with tax????

hahahaha they lowered that too...I see the final store prices being $200-300 after supply beefs up

If thats serious, then thats too funny. I wonder how many times it took before they gave up?

Colorado's response to habitually stolen 420 mile marker

KUSA-TV, Denver 6:33 p.m. EST January 10, 2014

Colorado has altered its 420 mile marker to avoid thieves. The number 420 is associated with marijuana, which the state legalized for recreational use this year

DENVER - Thieves have been stealing the 420 mile marker sign so often, the state's transportation department has changed it to "419.99" in an effort to try and stop the problem.
A photo of the 419.99 mile marker sign, which is about 148 miles on Interstate 70 east of Denver, began circulating on twitter through the @JournalistsLike twitter account on Friday.
"So this is our way to test it out. So far it's working," said Amy Ford, a spokesperson with the Colorado Department of Transportation. "It's a traffic safety thing. It's a helpful thing to have these sings on the road. But people kept ripping them off."
The number 420 is often used as a reference to smoking marijuana.
The 419.99 sign has been put up within the last year Ford said.
Ford also says they've had problems with thieves stealing the 69 mile marker sign in the past.

I dont condone theft ,

but the only thing funnier than a 420 mile marker

is a 419.99 mile marker sign , likely hanging right next to the 420 sign , But underneath High ST.


If your a teen ager that has ben stealing the signs, it's like a sign of accomplishment

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAhHAHA i had a great laugh at this, the 419.99 sign is almost more cool than the 420 sign, they need to just leave that one out or put two 21s in a row

Did they bother to move it .01 miles? LOL

Change the saying to "It's 419.99, got a millisecond?"
