Noah Kahan urges fans to stop stealing hometown street sign

Singer-songwriter Noah Kahan has publicly asked his fans to stop stealing a street sign from his Vermont hometown, calling the repeated thefts a "total disrespect" to the local community. The musician made the appeal via his Instagram Story on Friday, June 26, 2026, after being informed that the Alger Brook Road sign in Strafford had been taken multiple times.

The sign is referenced in Kahan's song "The View Between Villages," a track that has drawn fans to the rural location. In his social media post, Kahan expressed frustration that his artistic mention of the road was being misinterpreted as an invitation for disruptive behavior. He stated that the thefts are a headache for the town and disrespectful to the residents who live on the road, where he himself once lived.

Kahan directly addressed town officials and residents, offering to pay for any replacement signs and to discuss potential solutions. He also issued a broader plea to his fans, reminding them to respect the privacy of his family and the community. He described himself as deeply protective of the sanctuary of his upbringing and asked fans not to disturb the places or people there.
