STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Penn State authorities are looking for a driver who knocked down and stole the sign for “Paternoville” outside Beaver Stadium.

The campus police said Friday surveillance cameras captured images of a driver damaging gates, driving on grass and knocking over the Paternoville marker and another sign at about 4 a.m. Tuesday.

The vehicle’s a gray or silver sedan and may be a Toyota. Images of the car are posted on the school’s website.

Paternoville is the site of a tent encampment outside Beaver Stadium where students wait to get the best seats for home football games. It’s named for Joe Paterno, the longtime football coach who died of lung cancer earlier this year.
