The sign had been taken down by an electrician in July in anticipation of recovery and disposal by Shaw Environmental. A representative from Shaw had arrived this past week to collect and package the sign only to find that the sign was missing from the storage location where it had been placed at the time of removal. The electrical company hired by the licensee to perform the un-installation had noted that there were no signs of damage or loss of contents at the time of removal on July 13, 2012. The manager of the licensee's store can only definitely recall having seen the sign on July 14 or 15th in secure storage.
