      So. As a Stone Mason …I sorta feel obliged to point out that, sorry, that is a BRASS sign.

      Good news is it’s almost certainly been attached with 2 shortish pegs into the stone and some chemfix, epoxy or the like. Also a good chance there’s no pegs at all and it’s just epoxied straight to the stone…

      Either way, crowbar will, hypothetically, take that right off with no issues.

        As a metal worker, if I were to remove the message from this sign, I might use an 18-20v e angle grinder and flap disk grinding wheel so the brass doesn’t foul it too quickly.

        Hypothetically, a cold chisel and hammer could work too, though it wouldn’t be as easy to leave a nice polished finish for marking the next message to visitors.

          Or a belt sander. Just sand off “Private” and “on the steps.” so it says, “Lake. Please stay”
