Daily News | Stolen Cape May ‘Diamonds’ Sunset Beach sign found in North Philly trash heap
The sign had been on the side of Sunset Boulevard in Lower Township, about a mile or so from Sunset Beach, bolted to metal legs at the edge of two private properties whose owners had allowed the Humes, the family that has owned the Sunset Beach Gift Shop for decades, to place it there.Somehow, it had made its way to North Philadelphia, which really seemed to blow the minds of the people in the Cape May Live Facebook group, where Lower Township resident Chris Collins, reposted Cohen’s tweets.
Last August, said Larry Hume, his brother noticed the sign had gone missing. Someone had unbolted it and carted it off, not an easy task for a sign 4 feet by 8 feet., himself a legend in the greater Cape May community, increasing its value, or at least the desire to have it back in its native habitat.
“It’s really the most outlandish thing,” Hume said by telephone Tuesday. “To see this sign that sat there for so many years leaning against a railing in a city neighborhood like that — it looks like it’s in perfect shape, like they didn’t even take it to destroy it.”It did not surprise Cohen in the least, however. And he has a pretty good theory about how it ended up in a trash pile in North Philadelphia, near Temple University.
