I think placing a sign in an unapproved location is just a violation of a city bylaw regarding sign placement. I don't know that it's a crime. I guess you could argue some form of trespassing, but that's a stretch.

Removing a sign placed legally is theft.

EDIT: Here's a weird and totally academic question. What if you just turned a sign 90 degrees? There are plenty of them placed along roadways that would basically be worthless if they weren't facing oncoming traffic. What trouble could you get in for that, I wonder?
