``Moon River'' signs get snatched away

SAVANNAH - Those ``Moon River&#39;&#39; signs -- whenever they go up, they soon go away. <br> <br> This time it took only a week for the green signs honoring Savannah native and songwriter Johnny Mercer&#39;s famed ``Moon River&#39;&#39; to disappear. Smaller signs had been stolen at least four times in recent years. <br> <br> The Friends of Johnny Mercer wanted to keep his lyrics alive with the new signs on the river&#39;s bridge along the Diamond Causeway. The group spent about $300 -- most of its budget -- on the signs that featured Mercer&#39;s silhouette, a copy of his signature and the words ``Moon River.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> The two latest signs were gone even before the group knew that they had been put up by the state Department of Transportation. <br> <br> One sign was found Wednesday -- stuck in the mud. <br> <br> The group&#39;s president -- David Oppenheim -- is hoping someone will return the other sign. In his words, ``We&#39;d just love to see the sign returned. No questions asked.&#39;&#39;
