Quite right... And when one young, enterprising villager tried to capitalize by selling merchandise, he had to shut down shop because the other locals were throwing stuff at him walking down the street & stuff... No sense of humour (or sense of business for that matter)... Because I tell ya. Rather than getting all uppity about people stealing the sign putting up CCTV cameras to stop people from taking pix and vids in front of the sign... I'd start selling replicas of the sign. €100 or something similar. Want a photo of you & your s/o doing it under the sign? Sure! It'll cost ya! (That, and for decency sake I'd set up a more "private" location somewhere nearby like a studio, made to look like the actual scene)...
