Rat sign vanishes from Blagojevich's alley

City officials say the most publicized rat warning sign in Chicago has vanished.

Earlier this week, Chicago Sun-Times photographer John White shot a picture of Gov. Rod Blagojevich ducking out of his Ravenswood Manor home to avoid passing through a news media gauntlet.

The photo showed Blagojevich next to a city sign that said, "Warning" and "Target Rats" with a picture of a rat inside a bull's-eye.

On Friday morning, Blagojevich left his house by the same back door, but the rat sign had been taken down, even though it was posted in a city-owned alley.

City officials say they suspect the governor or somebody close to him saw White's unflattering picture and yanked down the sign.

They plan to put up another sign.
