In other news, four incidents of damaged borough street signs were reported on Monday. It was part of a vandalism and theft spree last weekend that also included swiping several political signs on lawns and a Marine Corps flag for the fourth time from a home in the 100 block of Mount Vernon Ave.
Stolen street signs were reported at:
- 500 block of Redman Ave., where signs from Mount Vernon and Peyton Avenue were found

CORRECTION: A headline in a previous version of this story was incorrect. Twenty-two-hundred dollars was reported missing from the high school.
Maybe we can electrify the signs? Judge, jury, and executioner all wrapped up in one shock device. If successful, it will likely have the added benefit of eliminating the disappearing copper gutters problem. #what?-yougotabetteridea?#betterthanspending70Konsidewalkstonowhere
For the most part Haddonfield teens are polite, hard working , smart , responsible and socially conscious young men and women. Maybe if those of you complaining about the "kids ' had spent MLK day volunteering for a Day of Service with them at the H.S. If you had , you would have a different opinion of them . I doubt that the flag thefts are also the work of our teens. And I have faith that the Haddonfield police are working hard at night and will soon have the thefts and burglaries of homes solved soon . I sure hope that they also will begin to go after the cars speeding on our streets .
