A long time ago, we bought a lawn mower at a flea market. When we got it home, we discovered that the serial number was gone. So either the mower had been used so much that the number was worn all the way off. Or it was stolen and the number had been filed off.

Since then, I’ve always associated that particular flea market with sketchy operations.

Anyway. This sign is just a block away, hanging on a fence in a residential neighborhood, which also seems a little sketchy.*
