I don't know how far this made it on wire services, but it's all over
Texas.  Seems a group of four Aggies (students from Texas A&M for those
unfamiliar with the traditions between Texas and Texas A&M) were arrested
just outside of Austin by Travis County Sheriff's officers early Friday
morning (Nov 4).  They were spotted removing highway signs from their
signposts and "making off" with them.  Their explanation was that they
were going to use the signs as fuel in the traditional Aggie Bon Fire
which is held the week before the Texas-Texas A&M football game which
is on Nov 26.  All the signs in the back of their truck had the word
"Austin" in them (they were mileage markers reading "Austin 44",
"Austin 24", "Austin 16", etc.) and formed a trail leading back to
College Station.

The signs were all made of metal.
