Lest you believe

that Serbia is the only country with funky ridiculous signs...


Spotted at the Hungarian border crossing.

This photo is in honor of my upcoming trip home (I'll be flying out of Hungary instead of Serbia) and thanks to my good friend Ryan (who happens to have a photoshop free trial).

Randi, Jen, and I spotted this at the Hungarian border crossing. We were on our way to Budapest to do some work stuff and couldn't help but notice this a few lanes over from us. Border crossings are nerve wracking anyway (passports, car papers, number of cigarettes you're transporting), but this made it so entertaining. Now most of you may not know, but Hungary is kind of notorious for their small crime. Burglaries, pick pockets, etc. So we were prepared to be warned about watching our valuables. (Sidenote: I was once told a joke by a friend...In Hungary your car will be stolen. You will find it again in Serbia.) Anyway, we sat staring at this sign wondering what exactly they were warning us of.
-Thieves will slash your tires and while you're changing them they will steal your things?
-Ninjas will place random briefcases in your car while you are otherwise engaged?
-Car maintenance makes you a target for Zorro look alikes?
What does it mean?! It is obviously so important that they warned you in three different languages...but what are they saying? We speculated the entire time. We still haven't found anyone that knows exactly what all of this is about.

All I know is that I have been warned.
