featherwurm: gahdamnpunk: This is important!!! Why would you mark a house you intend to steal from, presumably in a code known to other thieves? What possible advantage could you have to giving away your mark in a codified system? Especially something which could easily be seen by the homeowner/police?Most of these are UK road works markers And another source if you don’t like BBCIt seems like the original information came from the Daily Mail, which is not a legitimate news source. This comes up a few times under the name ‘Da Pinchi Code’ and is rebutted every now and again. I’ve seen several variations of ‘mysterious signs painted on the curb!’ usually relating back to utilities services (in the US and UK). Snopes is a great place to check this sort of thing, but google is there too. -- source link
