Does this sign even make sense? I went to the Great Wall of China few months back and came across loads of signs that just didn't make sense at all of which a couple i've uploaded in my blog! 'Please take car of your own property in case of lost. You can contact with our local police while involing in the trouble????' These sentences need a serious alteration to them! The first sentence should just read as 'Please take care of your property'. 'Your' already depicts something of your own so why repeat the word own?? Wrong use of preposition as well in the 2nd sentence which says 'You can contact with..' Rather it should be 'You can contact our local police'. Finally, involing has been misspelt and the entire sentence just doesn't sound read. So it should be 'You can contact our local police in case of emergency'.
