Deck never contemplated a life of crime, though.
At the Grand Canyon, he and Herson corrected a folksy-looking sign, adding a comma and changing womens' to women's.
The National Park Service was not impressed. It turned out the sign was created in the 1930 by a celebrated architect (and lousy speller).
Though nothing indicated the sing's historic importance, the government pressed charges.
Deck and Herson agreed to pay $3035 to restore the sign to stay out of national parks for a year.
