Do you have an estimate of how many there are? Has anyone ever catalogued them all? The article you linked says 'Polites bought and sold hundreds of properties in the 1970s and 1980s', but I assume many of the signs would have been taken down some time after the buildings were sold. And wow, that article takes a turn at the end! |

Was the cat WITH his body, or instead of his body. It didn't feel clear. |

Yeah, even the contemporaneous reporting is unclear, but I suspect it was buried above his body. If his body was missing I assume that would have been mentioned... Articles at the time: |

Nice one. Yeah I'd say we'd all know about it if it were instead of. |
