Two historical markers are missing in Greensboro, according to a post on the North Carolina Highway Historical Markers Facebook page.

A volunteer in Guilford County reported the missing markers on Sunday, according to the post.

The first represents the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and stands along U.S. Highway 421 (West Market Street). The second, which represents the Confederate Cabinet, stands along South Elm Street at Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.

The signs are emblazoned with "J-10" and "J-22."

Anyone with information about the signs is asked to contact the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources at 919-814-6800 or local police.

"State historical markers should never be in private hands or sold in a scrap shop or antique shop," the post reads.

There are more than 1,600 silver and black markers beside North Carolina roads emblazoned with the state seal, according to the NC DNCR.
