Bow police are looking for any tips from residents with information about three signs that were stolen from the Town Forest.

The signs were noticed missing on Saturday, Oct. 11, one week after they had been installed by the Bow Pioneers Snowmobile Club.

On Oct. 4, club members placed three large wooden signs at the three major trail junctions in the woods, and soon after, the one placed at Trail Junction 15 was discovered missing.

Several days after the first sign was found missing, police discovered that two others had been taken as well.

Only one sign was recovered, as it was found nearby in the river. Pioneers group members re-cemented the sign into the ground, and it is now back in its original location.

“We have no clue or no idea. We don’t know why they would go out of their way to make the beautiful posts disappear,” said Ray Cote, a member of the Bow Pioneers.

Bow Police Officer Justin Sargent said the sign was likely stolen close to the day it was placed in the ground.

“It was lifted out of cement, and the cement hasn’t even dried, so it had to have been pretty quick after they were working on it,” said Sargent.

The brown signs are about 5 feet tall, made out of wood with yellow lettering.

Members of the Bow Pioneers Club are offering a $100 reward for tips leading to the person or person who stole the signs, and the return of the signs in any condition.

Anyone with information may call the Concord Regional Crimeline, anonymously, at 226- 3100.

“The sign was taken from them, and they are very interested in getting it back,” said Sargent. “People are just pulling them straight out of the ground. We have only found one, so I am not sure what they’re doing with the others.”
