VIDEO: Stonersville Social Club sign stolen
A rather unique sign was stolen from a bar in Berks County last weekend.

BIRDSBORO, Pa. (WPVI) -- Police are looking for vandals who allegedly stole a very unique sign in Berks County last weekend.

The marquee, which reads "Stonersville Social Club" is usually seen hanging outside the bar, but someone used saws to cut it down on Friday night.

Employee Mark Farlow noticed the sign was missing on Saturday morning.

At first, he thought it was funny - until he realized that the thieves cut the wood in order to steal the entire sign.

"If it was anything, it was mischief night. They would've taken the sign at the top that said Stonersville Social Club. But to cut the whole sign down, that's beyond mischief night. That's vandalism. It kind of upsets me because if we have any functions here, now we can't advertise anything to the public," he said.

The Stonersville Social Club is known for giving back to many youth organizations in the community, such as fire houses and boy scouts.

The owners are hoping their insurance company will help them replace the sign as soon as possible.

Police urge anyone who may have information on the theft to call them immediately
