usually, with no record, you will probably be required to pay for the sign and court costs, that is if they can prove that you were responsible.
Speak to a lawyer first.

It may sound like a prank but it will not be viewed as such by the court. It is likely to be charged as malicious destruction of property over $250. Get a lawyer.
