    No it doesn't. GPS would need a battery or solar or something like that. RFID sure, but that's only useful in close proximity. So silly, like those fake security cameras that have no cables.

      Why couldn't the sign have battery or solar? That was my assumption.

        There's no visible power connections, and that mount does not appear to contain any wiring either. The battery would die pretty fast without something keeping it charged up. You could also just wrap the sign in EM blocking material after stealing it to avoid any potential tracking. No solar panels are visible either.

        Seriously doubt there is any actual tracking. If there was, I'm sure someone would have pranked them by leaving the sign at a strip club or something like that.

          I mean, you're probably right. Though I don't think it's toooo unreasonable to suspect a solar panel and battery could be stuck in there, the chances aren't huge.

          Photo of other side needed. Why not get all angles of horneytown??

    Reminds me of how they had to have mile marker 419.9 on (I think) I-70 near Denver because the 420 mile marker kept getting stolen

    I feel like you could order a metal green sign that says whatever you want on it.
