John Tanner is missing some signs and it’s got him concerned.

While the problem is not a new one, Tanner said, it is an issue that needs to be addressed from time to time to remind people why they shouldn’t do it.
“It’s on-going; every year we lose a few when kids head back for school or in May when they come back we lose a few, but boy it seems bad this year,” Tanner said last Friday.
