When you think of Austria, no doubt you think of such cities and towns as Vienna, Innsbruck and Salzburg. But there is another one. And because of its name, tourists steal the signs. The name? We can't print it here. It's F---ing.

Click to visit Snopes.com and see some of the signs in F---ing, Austria and get proof this town really exists. (Scroll to see the signs and be sure to read the captions!)

Agence France Presse and Britain's Sunday Telegraph report that the residents of F---ing (pronounced Fooking) are quite perturbed with British tourists who think the name of the town is so hilarious they want to take a piece of it home with them. So they swipe the signs. There are only 32 homes in this charming Austrian village with breathtaking views of lakes and forests and none of its residents understand why their signs are so popular. In fact, sign stealing is the only crime in F---ing.
