Reports of stolen real estate and open house signs seemed to be on the increase this spring. So RVAR emailed all members to ask for specific instances. In the past 4 weeks, 20 Realtors responded, reporting 30 stolen/lost signs in 4 different jurisdictions. Half of the stolen signs were located in Southwest Roanoke County, site of many of our listings.
Realtors are advised to report the theft of signs or other property to the appropriate authority, as follows. | Bedford Co. | Sheriff | 586-7827 | | Botetourt Co. | Sheriff | 473-8230 | | City of Salem | Sheriff | 375-3040 | | Franklin Co. | Sheriff | 483-3000 | | Roanoke City | Police | 853-2212 | | Roanoke Co. | Police | 562-3265 | | Vinton | Police | 342-8135 | |
