Bombs Away

One flyer has a picture of a garage sale sign, advertising for a house on Le Sage Drive. "Reward," says the flyer, "very important garage sale sign stolen from 5916 Le Sage. We would like it back…and are willing to pay up to 75 cents."

Another has a picture of the Astrodome and asks, "Have you seen this building? Last seen near Loop 610. This building is very close [to] me and my family."

Others seek lost Sharpies, hamburgers, packs of cigarettes and even dance moves.

Then the Guys from California took it and pasted it on a metal box at the corner of Montrose and Fairview. It lasted for several months before the city covered it up with white paint.

"Nobody tried to rip it off or put anything on top of it," says Bentsen. "It seemed like the neighborhood liked it.

"But that's just the way it goes."
