Cops: Real estate agent stole 'for sale' signs
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - A Connecticut real estate agent has been charged with stealing a competitor's for sale signs from the front lawns of area homes.
Police say 54-year-old Robert Toth, of Shelton, was charged Wednesday with third-degree larceny and first-degree criminal trespass. Toth owns American Home Realty in Trumbull.
Police say U.S. Asset Realty owner Jihad Shaheer complained in September that his signs had been stolen from more than a half-dozen sites in Bridgeport and from the front of two homes in Stratford.
Police tell the Connecticut Post that they later determined that Toth had been taking the signs. Toth had worked for Shaheer before opening his own real estate company.
Toth declined to comment.

Real Estate Agents; Never before have so many been rewarded so much for doing so little.   More than half the agents we have met over the years have been complete greaseballs, misguided by an over bloated sense of self importance.
This story is just one example. Too bad during the housing fallout real estate agents weren't profiled as well.
only in America? sad state of affairs
What a dip-stick...
