A “phantom post snatcher” is “prowling” the remote Welsh countryside by night and removing marker signs from a popular hiking trail in Snowdonia, said The Times. After the signposts, which are essential for those hiking the 83-mile Snowdonia Slate Trail, disappeared, a spokesperson for the trail said they were baffled. “I think that as they are so heavy, if they were vandals they would have been left on the side,” they said. “It would need a quad bike or a similar sort of transport to remove them.”
