Thieving fans of rapper Lil Nas X’s song “Old Town Road” may have inadvertently led to a West Coast community stumbling onto a cash cow.
Two “Old Town Road” signs were stolen recently in Sicamous, B.C., so the community’s municipal staff decided to begin selling the signs to curtail the thefts.
The signs are sold in-town and online at $25 a pop, and it turns out they’re practically flying off the shelf with people from Alaska, Las Vegas and as far away as Belize purchasing them.
“It’s actually quite amazing,” Sicamous operations manager Joe McCulloch told CTV News Channel on Tuesday, adding that the district has sold 90 signs in the past two days alone.
