WPCNR POLICE GAZETTE. February 2, 2012:

White Plains Police apprehended 42 year old Daniel Mosca of 10 Bryant Crescent White Plains early Thursday morning 12:20 A.M. in possession of a anti-FASNY sign and charged him with petty larceny and fifth degree of stolen property.

Last Friday evening, approximately 30 Anti-French School of New York Development signs were removed from private home yards in the vicinity of Ridgeway Country Club, according to an e-mail from the President of the Gedney Farms Association, Terence Guerriere. (The school is planning to develop the former country club into a central campus, a project bitterly opposed by the neighborhood.)

LoHud Reporter Richard Liebson in reporting the arrest, cited a police report of the arrest as saying Mosca had thought the signs were put up by the French School in support of the project, and that he thought the signs were ugly and detracted from the neighborhood.

That the suspect admitted he was confused is interesting.

FASNY SIGNS RETURN TO LINE RIDGEWAY.

Last year, when the anti-FASNY signs first sprouted up in yards bordering Ridgeway avenue adjacent Ridgeway Country Club, the popular White Plains Week television news roundup show pointed out the ambiguous message of the design of the signs.

Many of the signs, pictured above featured the classic cross-out red circle (a negative) on top of the "FASNO" word, actually neutralizing the message of the neighborhood being against the FASNY project. The commentators agreed it was an ambiguous design which possibly sent the wrong message. Apparently in one case, it was misunderstood.
